As such, it struggles with speed, accuracy, and ease of use which have historically hamstrung its real world applications. Still, progress is being made in this space all the same and it could theoretically be combined with other techs like TMS. Neurable is one to watch in this space. |
I assumed in my previous post that the problems with this technology would be solved eventually, and I believe that if these companies keep working on it, the latency and lack of accuracy will be things of the past at some point. In fact, the second video you linked makes it look quite well (although that's to be expected) and in one of the comments, the uploader of the video estimates that this could be "available for wide release in around 10 years", which would be very good if true.
Also, the combination with other technologies makes it even more promising. That sort of telekinesis can be excelent for teamwork, and it makes me think about what other uses there could be for that... This is science-fiction right now (I like to speculate with these sorts of things), but if two people could be able to connect their minds at a somewhat deeper level, we could be in front of a kind of revolution in the way people interact with each other.
Anyway, you seem educated in the matter, so thanks very much for sharing these videos and links! They're quite nice, and not only because of their informative component, but also because they've estimulated my curiosity.
I'm mostly a lurker now.
