Different, can't say I'd be jumping to the front of the line to drop the coin on it. I'd be fun to play with none the less.

i would like to play with that!
sure it's not world changing, but its cool!
i've got the unreal anthology so i'd be set for 4 games worth of mind-controlling interaction... now to set it up on my projector, and be all virtual reality-like!

pretty cool technology... I'm curious how responsive the device is... because I can see gamers that use this to be able to crank out quite a few 'brain waves' and if the device is not responsive enough, there could be a pretty big lag between jumping and shooting.

I don't get exactly what it does.
Call me a simpleton, but after swimming through that pool of scientific mumbo jumbo (I'm a biology student at
http://www.tjhsst.edu please fuhgive me), I don't think it clearly tells you what it does.
Does it let you move around and shoot and interact in game just by using your brain or something?
ASDF!

yes, but you still use a mouse for general movement with this device.

That was fake
The screen was showing a FPS and its a twitch style run & gun...and everyone knows run & gunners never use their brains.

I'd like to show that model my own Neural Impulse Actuator.
