By josh Mindset – Games they are a Changing
If you haven’t heard about this device, Mindset, check out this article. The device, from what I understand, allows you to play games (the games designed to be played this way of course) using your thoughts.
While I’m not a Luddite or anything, I tend to be nervous when it comes to new technology. This kind of thing is on the verge of neural interface. I simply find it interesting that the technology is being used for games before anything else and thought I should link to the article here.
There isn’t a ton of information on this product available but if you have any good links or good info I would love to hear about it!

Heh. If Cyberpunk and Shadowrun have Direct Neural Interfaces, maybe this is an Indirect interface?
So Strange Days was only a couple decades ahead of its time.
I also wonder whether we’d have these kind of innovations at all if not for seeing them visualized from the imaginations of science fiction writers.

Josh- Also interesting that games beat porn for first application of the technology, and I say that only half-jokingly.
