DailyTech - Levitating Computer Interface Heads to Universities Nationwide

DailyTech - Levitating Computer Interface Heads to Universities Nationwide: "When one thinks of haptic interfaces – that is, computer interfaces based on touch and feel – many think of the vibration features in modern joysticks and gamepads. Researchers at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, however, think way beyond that, and recently began distributing copies of a new, levitating force-feedback computer interface to fellow researchers around the country."

DailyTech - OCZ Prepares to Ship $300 Brain Mouse

DailyTech - OCZ Prepares to Ship $300 Brain Mouse: "DailyTech covered the progress made on OCZ's brain mouse design back in January, following OCZ's demonstration of the device at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Since then, two hungry competitors -- Neurosky and Emotiv -- have prepared to release their own brain-controlled mice to consumers, upping the ante for OCZ.

Not to be outdone, OCZ, feeling the heat, is at last bringing its Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) to market. The device is essentially a brain controlled mouse, relying on Electroencephalogram (EEG) readings of the brain's alpha and beta waves. These readings, combined with muscle movement and glance (eye movement) readings, allow for a very effective interface."
