Gabe Newell believes brain interfaces will create games 'superior' to reality 'fairly quickly'

Gabe Newell says the future of gaming may lie in brain-computer interface technology, or BCI for short. In an interview with 1 NEWS, a television network in Newell's home away from home, New Zealand, the co-founder of Valve talks about his vision of what gaming might look like once powered by BCI tech and it sure sounds immersive at a level us mere mortals could hardly imagine—or existentially scary. Take your pick.

As much as I support VR, its current implementation is still pretty problematic with controls and polished interactivity being key issues. Wands and bulky headsets feel like a stopgap compared to what it can eventually become. Neural interfaces (external or internal) are its destiny and I'm following the industry with anticipation.

I really doubt most countries would allow internal neural interfaces outside of those dedicated to help with a medical condition (deafness, parkinson, etc.).

There are a lot of things that can be done to make VR more immersive without having to resort to those kinds of interfaces, like better and lightler glasses, gloves instead of wands, and over all of that, make it wireless.
