Would like to give this stuff a try myself...

That tech looks like it has some interesting implications for gameplay, design work, construction work, etc.

Looking forward to trying it out if/when it becomes available.

imagine if it got as advanced as you simply thinking of an image and then the computer draws it for you. Gfx artists would be out of business

whats fun in 'cutting off' your external senses? as i see its developed mostly to help disabled people, and you would like to enjoy disability??

This is not at all what I thought this topic would be about.

What did you think it was about FD?

I don't like the idea of it as a toy, the novelty would wear off in a while anyway.

is there any product with this technology already on the market? I remeber reading a blog about something like this and writter had a link to amason with technology like this where one could buy something simmillar to this and play games with it.

Anyone has more info or link to this?

Could be useful in FPS games to activate stuff, or switch weapons.

they talked about distractions
jusst shouting "BOOBIES!!!" might make you drop whatever your brain was carrying

a full blown FPS controlled by this method would be too taxing for this gobetween just cos you look at something doesnt mean you want that something 'targeted' i want to have my gun trained on something turn my head and my head only to a comrade and say something then face my original position afaik all games turn the whole body, untill they sort out the body mechanics they can forget about this as a main stream gaming device and im not having the next gen equivelant of usb/fire wire slapped in my spinal cord for no one

motion capture however ...
when playing games i have found myself peering to the side of my monitor for a better look :)
but looking away to face a real life person talking to you means your game character looks away too failing to accept that their is no monitor in which to see the results in the direction faced
solution 1990's vr helmets ... no thank you

another link had a 360 controller working as a mouse ... most boring video ever*, but it does work albeit slower than a mouse in treakle, which is why joysticks and joypads never match up to mice for rts and other genres
yes they work on fps but everyone still insists on mice for pc aiming

*i did scroll down to read the comments and "that was AWESOME" came up a few times WTF awesome ??? then i found out it had started to play another video whos comments i was reading ;)

if the pc reads the chatpad add on it would be more 'interesting' or the ps3 equivelant for that matter ... havnt decided which looks the most stupid the keyboard ontop ala ps3 or in the small space of the 360

Oblivion telinekis getting to think that adoring fan will fal of that clif :)

Pretty cool stuff. It's nice to see things like this develop in my lifetime; the kinds of things you could normally only imagine in sci-fi.
