California based NeuroSky has launched a new device named Mindset, which controls games avatar using players willpower. In this technology players move characters through a headset that monitors their brainwaves.
The device monitors whether the player is focused or relaxed, and accordingly moves the character on a PC.
“We introduced this as a new interface, a new platform for game creators,” said NeuroSky MD Kikuo Ito. “We are exploring the use of brainwaves in the game industry because games are fun and so close to people.”
Japan’s Keio University put similar technology to use this year to let a paralysed man take a virtual stroll on the popular Second Life Web site, with the machine reading his brain for what he wanted to do.
In future teachers could monitor whether students were attentive or a disable person would walk freely on his wheelchair using his brainwaves.
