Abstract (Summary)
Brain-wave-reading headsets are about to hit the market. Devices that project virtual worlds onto the real world around you are less than five years out. 3DV Systems, a start-up in Yokneam, Israel, has developed a camera that observes a player's motions and translates them into commands in a video game so that the game responds to gestures and body language. Several start-ups, including EmSense in San Francisco and NeuroSky in San Jose, CA, are working on head-mounted devices that detect brain waves. Conduit Labs, a start-up in Cambridge, MA, is working on a hybrid social networking and gaming environment -- think Facebook meets World of Warcraft. Emotiv Systems, a start-up in San Francisco, plans to introduce its brain-wave-reading headset at the end of this year.
This article discusses the possible add-ons that could come with the new 3DV systems. It also covers a small bit on the 3DV system itself.
