Ugh. Am I the only one who’s totally sick of using my hands to control my PC? Thankfully, the folks at Interaxon have a solution to save your fingers. Now you can use your mind. The major tradeoff here is the fact that you’ve got to wear some diodes on your head, but that won’t be such a big deal in the future when we’re all wearing the things, right?
Of course, the product that the company showed off at this year’s CES is little more than an early working prototype. Actually, it’s a couple of diodes strapped to a pair of NVidia 3D glasses. The hardware was being used to manipulate some proprietary 3D software. The wearer’s brain waves direct affected the design on the screen.
It’s not too dissimilar from other 3D products we’ve seen in the past–like the Mattel Mindflex game. Control of the designs largely revolve around the wearer’s ability to control his or her mind.
The company is currently doing consulting for third parties, looking to implement its technology in other devices. Interaxon is also working on getting a hardware/software package on the market in the near future.
