All sorts of interesting news today… this article talks about biofeedback technology being used in games. It’s a nice idea, but I don’t think this one’s going to happen real soon either:
“Mom, I need a biofeedback controller for my Nintendo.” “A what?” “It’s this really neat thing that reads your mind and lets you control things just by thinking about them!” “But you’ve already got a game-pad, two joysticks, a steering wheel, foot pedals, a throttle, a light gun, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen, and a high-speed Internet connection for your Nintendo.” “Yeah, but I need this!” “Sorry dear, you’re just going to have to learn to trounce your friends the old-fashioned way.”
