It’s another OCZ’s invention. It’s a brain mouse. The brain mouse allows you to use your brain to interact with your computer. Instead of having your hands to type on QWERTY or move around on a mouse pad with a normal mouse to control your game play, now you can use your thoughts to control the game.
We’ve heard a couple of stories before about developing brain-controlled interfaces for computers. But to date, none of them seems to have become a successful one. How is this possible with the OCZ’s brain mouse? Using thought to control meaning the gamer can simply think of anything and the game character must act accordingly. And the list of actions is endless! OCZ makes it possible by having the neural impulse actuator in tandem with the brain control interface control peripherals developed by OCZ. The neural impulse actuator uses the brain’s electroencephalograph (EEG) signals and converts them into custom keystrokes or mouse inputs which can then be used to control gameplay.
But before using the device, you need to tune or train the device with your brain’s signals in order for it to obey your brain’s EEG. OCZ also offers a comprehensive training and calibration kit, so you can train and calibrate the device well before using it to operate your game with your mind. OCZ will kick off the USB 2.0 version of this device for mass production this year. And they’ll roll out with a price higher than average, $300, which only enthusiasts will probably consider.
