Games! Yeeeah

Australian firm Emotiv Systems has unveiled a new technology Epoc system, which will allow games to respond to the players’ emotions and let players maneuver objects in the game using the power of their thoughts. This is the first mind control system for games in the world.




The main part of the system is much like a bicycle helmet, on which there are many sensors incepting people's brain wave. The sensors will transfer the information back to computer with radio pulse to help it figure out the motion you are acting. In fact, the Epoc system can receive the orders from each part of your body, which means that you still need to do real "act" with your body, instead of just sitting there to command your computer to fight in the game. It is a little different from the "mind control" we called and we learned from Hollywood movies. The system can releaze whether you are tense, or other similar mind activation such as your emotion and mood. If Epoc system can support complex controls in the game, it will be the next revolution in game field.



Wii from Nintendo has brought us a lot of fun and a completely new playing method. Will Epoc be the next Wii which will enrich our game experience?
