Mind reading technology becomes commodity


Project Epoc

This release for developers has appeared:

Based on the latest developments in neuro-technology, Emotiv has developed a new interface for human computer interaction.

Project Epoc is a headset that uses a set of sensors to tune into electric signals naturally produced by the brain to detect player thoughts, feelings and expression. It connects wirelessly with all game platforms from consoles to PCs. Project Epoc now makes it possible for games to be controlled and influenced by the player's mind.

Engaging, immersive, and nuanced, Emotiv-inspired game-play will be like nothing ever seen before.


Going to the site, there's a set of tools to use the input from this standard headset. Combining this with the Wii bluetooth handset can create a truly immersive gaming experience.
