[General IR]

this can be used for consoles as well and no more carpal tunnel
not that it mattered to me because im with the 360. can a game controler give you carpal tunnel?

[General IR]

Damnit, why is no one interested in this. on xbox fourms no one replayed and now it may get bumped again. seiously WTF

[A DUCK]

Cool. But, id rather have one that does it easily and doesnt require tons of thought, and not have to do funny looking motions with my hands/arms :).

[General IR]

you know that was only a prototype

[General IR]

also, have you ever played the wii

For the foreseeable future, non-invasive brain technology will probably take a lot of thought and much training to use effectively

I prefer technology which reads the electrical signals sent to your muscles over both invasive and non-invasive brain technology.

Imagine playing L4D with that thing and you are the boomer. A survivor walks around the corner and is right next to you. You try to make the helmit understand you want to vomit on the survivor. Instead, it makes you use your weak melee attack with your short arms. The survivor proceeds to melee you and shoot you :D.

In your head: Pounce pounce pounce!!!

reads the electrical signals sent to your muscles

that may seem easy to ues, but if it reads every muscle movement that means that (what ever your controling) will always be moving

Only the muscles its hooked up to. I've only seen it tested on arm's and legs though, not seen it tested using finger muscles yet. I think its mainly being researched for partial amputee's at the moment.

finger muscles
fingers dont have muscles only tendent. but you do have a point

*GASPS* VR GAMES ARE NEAR!!!11

[Plankie]

I meant that this can evolve to VR games.

[General IR]

[A DUCK]
