The future of mind-controlled video games looks very much like the past of arcade games.
The technology behind popular brain-control games like Star War’s Force Trainer and Mindflex could make future video games more challenging, more frightening.
Sure, SEGA isn’t planning on making a new Dreamcast, but it is making stuff you control with your brain. SEGA’s SEGA TOYS is teaming up with bio-sensor maker NeuroSky to develop a new line of toys. NeuroSky CEO Stanley Yang says:
With our ThinkGear bio-sensor technology and innovative capacity of SEGA TOYS, our collaboration with SEGA TOYS will empower consumers to intimately interact with or control a toy, using their mind.
That’s right, let SEGA jack you into the matrix. (Man, I really wish they were making a new Dreamcast instead of this.)
