Hmmm - New Controller

I've not actually seen anyone post anything regarding this yet, however it does truly amaze me. I wonder how this could affect multiboxers?

I want!

It's a repost.

It's grainy. Over hyped. Inexact.

A step in the right direction - absolutely. But honestly.... this is probably not going to do what you think it is going to do.

Here's a typical report describing what you'd likely get:

After a few months of 30-minute training sessions four or five times a week, he and the three other volunteers were able to zap targets within a couple of seconds after they appeared at random spots on the screen. That suggests the technology may prove invaluable for quadriplegics and others lacking the ability to use their hands or voices.

Note the "within a few seconds" part. On the plus side, lag would no longer be an issue! :P

No doubt xzin. The real problem in my opinion is that any radical movement towards something like this is going to be a problem in adaptaion, as it stands we've been improving the basics of what we were using 20 years ago rather than radical redesign. We are all used to things the way they are, keyboard and mouse etc. Chances are that nothing on that level will be widely acepted for a while, Wii is steping in the right direction, a new idea (sort of) implemented at the right time to the right market.

Something like this, while techinically possible now is in it's infancy and won't be adopted by many. Chances are this will be orphaned several times over untill the market is ready for a full featured version of this.
