Seriously freaky:
I bumped into this because I want to see if Emotiv, a company that’s trying to create off the shelf mind-controlled gaming tools, had gotten any further since they blew their much-hyped launch a year or two ago. I’m interested because if I could read rss feeds & surf the web without using my messed up hands or voice recognition, I’d be a happy camper.
When Emotiv realized they couldn’t pull off their launch, they did something very smart — they created a developer software development kit and started selling the sucker for very little money, encouraging geeks to start coming up with cool stuff. I think virtually everything the guy’s using is off the shelf glued together with some geeky coding.
Of course the video also looks like the first few minutes of a $1,000 budget Grade C horror movie….
Another interesting example, which looks more like performance art:
A great example of what’s possible when you use a decentralized, socially networked approach to unleash folks’ creativity.
