Mind Control

Mattel has come out with a new game! Yay. Kids these days will be experiencing augmented reality much earlier on in their lives. Maybe to them augmented reality will be a thing of the past when doing stuff with your hands and not having a HUD will be barbaric. The game operates on concentration and not concentrating with a headset that is worn by the player. The headset monitors your brain activity and you have to concentrate to turn on a fan, which blows a ball, that you some how maneuver through an obstacle course. I think somewhere in all of that a knob has to be turned so the obstacle course rotates so the ball can go through it. And the course is customizable, so once you’ve mastered one you can move on to the next. Drivers ed will be so weird when they grow up unless they have teleportation devices…



Game!
