Using technology that has been under heavy research/development for a number of years now, Project Epoch uses a series of sensors (the red things) to "read" your brainwaves, and use them to control a video game.
I must say, it looks pretty dorky, but hell, anything that lets me use real mind control il wear no matter how it looks. That's just plain cool.
Finally someone has taken up Nintendo's way and invented a new way to play games. Though im not sure that this will make people active the way Wii does...
From the product page:
Based on the latest developments in neuro-technology, Emotiv has developed a new interface for human computer interaction. Project Epoc is a headset that uses a set of sensors to tune into electric signals naturally produced by the brain to detect player thoughts, feelings and expression. It connects wirelessly with all game platforms from consoles to PCs. Project Epoc now makes it possible for games to be controlled and influenced by the player's mind. Engaging, immersive, and nuanced, Emotiv-inspired game-play will be like nothing ever seen before.
Emotiv also says that they are accepting private demonstrations at GDC. Unfortunately, none of our staff will be able to attend GDC this year, so we can't book a demonstration with them. We will keep an eye out if anyone else does get one with them though.
