In an adapted version of the Harry Potter video game, players lift boulders and throw lightning bolts using only their minds. Just as physical movement changed the interface of gaming with Nintendo's Wii, the power of the mind may be the next big thing in video games.

This is one of the most awesome things I have seen in a long time.

is it a joke?

Hmm looks interesting

They've been experimenting with this sort of tech for the last few years (with partially working models). It's only a matter of time.

Still, its just simple EEG biofeedback.

We won't see real matrix-esque video game control until these become socially acceptable and available on the market:

But then how would the mindless gamers play?:cheese:

That is a pretty awesome vid theotherguy. Think Direct Neural interface by 2050 is a reasonable prediction?

Bah, I could care less, all I want is a form of 'programmable' lucid dreaming where I can buy games that come preprogrammed with stories etc and load'em into my dreams

All other tech's can go die for all I care.>_<

All I want is a damn machine that I can hook up into my brain and play through a 'controlled drema'.

I still wanna see how this thing turns out:

I saw the unveiling of this device last year at GDC 07. It was very cool and very real, but it has a long ways to go to make mass market of any kind.

Don't expect to be playing any shooters with it anytime soon!

That'd be damn cool and scary at the sametime.

Thanks Fliko, finally someone who replied to my post, indeed it would, and yes it would, I have injured myself in dreams many times and when I wake up I think I'm actually injured, but at the same time, sex in dreams rules.
