Holy Crap the Possibilities Are Endless!!!

Okay people, I've stumbled across something big to me. For those of you in Australia, you might already know, so don't get on my case about things. No, this post doesn't have anything to do with .Hack//G.U. but rather something awsomely similar. I'm talking about brainwave virtual reality. For those of you who don't understand, pay attention. So there is a product on the market now called the Emotiv Headset. This headset literally reads your brainwaves and interacts with a computer system or game, controlling almost every aspect of the virtual world. Your avatar will pick up your facial expressions, your anger, fear, joy, anything will be transferred to your character and will result in a completely personalized being.
"Why is this important?" you may ask. Well, with this technology, we may be well on our way to a new World, one where we can truly immerse ourselves in a complete other personality. For my fellow RPers out there, it is a chance to live a dream through the use of electronics. Put away the dice and pencils and say hello to your new life. With this technology, combined with others like the 3rd Space Gaming Vest and the Vuzix Eyewear, one can now truly experience a game to the fullest.
Now the price for the Emotiv is around $500, which, as you know, is more expensive than many game consoles. Well, this is because it is tailored to gamers of tomorrow rather than ones of today. It is the most advanced system with the most neural readers on it. However, there is no need to fret if you don't have the dough to purchase this monster, for the Emotiv has competition. The cheapest and probably most fitting choice for today's gamers is known as the N.I.A. or Neural Impulse Actuator. Our friends at OCZ Technology have cooked up something affordable for us that works with many games used today, and at a little over $100 a pop, we may be looking at the next big thing to literal controllers. The last product I researched was NeuroSky's MindSet. This headset, from what I can tell, reads general emotions with only one sensor as opposed to NIA's 3 or Emotiv's dozen or so. They show much in the way of music and interaction, but not as much flexibility. Because of this, I personally say look heavily at the NIA game lovers, but keep your eye out on the Emotiv, for I predict that it will be the revolutionary step in the way of virtual reality. So speaks Wise Edsel.
