Remember the part in Star Wars where Luke is trying to lift his ship from the swamp? Yeah, he fails and Yoda brings the smack down. Something about him not believing he could do it or something. Anyway, Emotive has come up with a way to make all that a reality. They have made a brain interface unit for gaming. This allows the gamer to control motions on the screen with his or her conscious thoughts.
Emotiv has created the first brain computer interface technology that can detect and process both human conscious thoughts and non-conscious emotions. The technology, which comprises a headset and a suite of applications, allows computers to differentiate between particular thoughts such as lifting an object or rotating it; detect and mimic a user’s expressions, such as a smile or wink; and respond to emotions such as excitement or calmness.
“The next major wave of technology innovation will change the way humans interact with computers,” said Nam Do, co-founder and CEO of Emotiv Systems. “As the massive adoption of concepts such as social networking and virtual worlds has proven, we are incorporating computer-based activities not only into the way we work, learn, and communicate but also into the way we relax, socialize and entertain ourselves. The next step is to enhance these experiences by making the way we interact with computers more ‘lifelike’. That’s where Emotiv’s highly disruptive technology comes in.”
