Will the brain directly ... control the game?
Over the past few years, we've been introduced to quite a few unique developments in the field of control (from Sony's PS2 dynamic controller to the Wiimote controller that is sensitive to Wii motion and acceleration), But it seems that all of these advances will become obsolete when a company called Emotiv Systems has just introduced a device that allows users to play their favorite games with . direct signals from the set. Brain.
According to the company, Project Epoc is a head-mounted controller that uses a sensor system to capture electrical signals generated by the brain, thereby discovering thoughts, feelings, expressions of the player, at the same time can discover both conscious thoughts as well as human unconscious emotions. The main process behind all these technologies is 'non-interventional electroencephalography', the method used to monitor each person's brain activity.
Project Epoc system is just like a headset, as well as a unified processing unit for all detectors. The Expressiv suite can instantly identify facial expressions, the Affectiv set is used to determine the player's discreet emotional states, while the Cognitiv set detects the players' conscious thoughts.
Whether or not this device really works is still uncertain, maybe we are only talking about a 'ghost product'. But if this device is indeed true, it will cause a big change in people's views, not only for the game but also for the whole process of computer interaction with people. Currently, all we know is that Emotive Systems will probably release a test version of this product at the 2007 Game Developers Conference, but hopefully we'll get more from the public. This company in the near future.
