| Verter said: I saw a glove in the PC Gaming Show in the last E3 that made use of this technology. I can't find a clip of that annoucement on Youtube (and I don't wanna link the whole conference just for a few seconds of video), but I think this is what I saw. I personally wouldn't use this particular application of the technology, because I want to know that what is happening in a certain game is an exact translation of my skills playing the game - even if that means that I suck at it. However, I can see how a professional or a more dedicated player could be interested in this. And about the technology itself, it's indeed a quite promising one. I'm not sure if I'd use it or in which cases I'd use it, but it will definitely be worth following its evolution and future applications outside of the gaming industry. I think we're living quite thrilling times in terms of technological and scientific improvements and advancements, but at the same time, it's kind of a shame that we won't be able to know what will happen in a few centuries from now - which wonders will be created, which discoverings will be made. |
Interesting. The marketing for that product makes it seem rather sketchy, but if genuine and reliable I could see the pro gamer scene adopting it. The technology behind it seems somewhat similar (if more niche) to what Facebook has invested a billion dollars into with CTRL Labs:
This is currently the most promising wearable I've seen demonstrated in the real world with lots of potential use cases (VR controllers, for example). Most of the EEG headband type devices have been reduced in real world application to New Age 'mindfulness' and meditation garbage.
