The Future of Gaming

The era of thought controlled games is here! The days of hand controlled gaming could be on the way out. Soon you could be required only to think to operate a video game and maybe you'll even have the chance to be completely immersed in a video game 'world'. This can all be made possible by a headset called the
Emotiv EPOC. This is the first Brain Computer Interface device for the gaming market and is the technology behind the revolution. The EPOC detects and processes real time brain activity patterns using a device that measures electric activity in the users brain. It allows the user to manipulate a game or virtual environment naturally and intuitively.

In total, it can pick up over 30 different expressions, emotions and actions.

President and co-founder of Emotiv Systems, Tan Le, said the brain-to-computer interface was undoubtedly the future for video games.

"Being able to control a computer with your mind is the ultimate quest of human-machine interaction. When integrated into games, virtual worlds and other simulated environments, this technology will have a profound impact on the user's experience."



Brain Computer Interfaces could bring exciting times in gaming leading the way for the future of game development.
