Really, I'm not a videogamer, but recently I buyed the Wii controller (Wii Motion Plus) (no Wii console is needed) to create digital soundprocesses with Wii-minded musicsoftware (Loop machine, Maniipulator, OSCulator, Siimple Synth, WiitoMidi etc.) but without any computermouse on desk.
Read again the P-ART Journal issue #28 about my fascination for VIRTUAL HANDS (< click here).
The new Thought-controlled Interface will be a major step forwards. Klaus-Robert Müller (Fraunhofer Institut FIRST, Berlin) reported about the release of The Berlin Brain-Computer Interface. Less as twenty minutes you need to learn that the computerinterface "reads" your mind correctly. The electrical activity in the brain is measured by 128 electrodes affixed to the person's scalp, as for an electroencephalogram (EEG). The computer's self-learning capacity allows it to identify individual brain patterns and constantly improve its performance.
In the future, the "mental typewriter" translates thoughts into cursor movements on a computer screen, allowing paralyzed patients to write texts, or maybe to play videogames and to create music once upon a time à la Wii Motion Plus.Goodbye Mouse!
