Emotiv Unveils Thought-Based Controls

[HardOCP News]

Shacknews has a bit of info on Emotiv’s thought based controller. The concept is cool but using your thoughts to control your games? Hmmm.

Emotiv Systems today unveiled the next step forward: thought-based interaction. The Emotive Development Kit (EDK), which includes a series of stylish head-mounted sensors, can identify facial expressions, measure emotions, and even differentiate between types of thoughts like "lift," "push" and "rotate."

'Lift', 'push' and 'rotate' is enough for an interactive porn game. Er, might need to design an extra 'sensor'.
