SIGGRAPH: Neurable Lets You Control A Virtual World With Your Mind

quote [ At SIGGRAPH this week the Boston-based startup is showing its modified HTC Vive which include EEG (Electroencephalography) sensors along the interior of the headstrap. This is combined with eye-tracking technology from German firm SMI, which may have just been acquired by Apple. The EEG sensors’ comb-like structure dug through my hair to subtly make contact against my scalp where they detected brain activity. It is definitely alarming to hear someone outside VR say my brain is looking good. ]

So this is all happening about ten years earlier than I expected. At this rate, eyetracking and EEG will be standard in Third Generation headsets. Scary, but very very sexy.

It's the first pop culture example of a fairly realistic brain/computer interface that I know.

Looking at that list, I think I would like to work in "Penetration Testing".

Ask who's going to be penetrated first.

Can I come to work for you?
steele said @ 8:34pm GMT on 2nd Aug
As long as no one wants to be paid, everyone can come work for me. I'm that generous and forward facing. ;)
