neurosky mindset

neurosky, a bio-sensor technology company in the silicon valley, released last week an interesting headset product for - initially - computer gaming...the mindset.

think of it as a regular headset with one more arm. while that third arm would typically be a mouthpiece, it actually has a sensor that is placed on your forehead, and will read your brainwaves.

as you're playing a game...you can play the game without your hands, and simply think your movements. in one demo seen at gdc, testers would focus on a car and think of lifting the car.

straight jedi status.

the mindsets are looking to hit u.s. markets in july, along with the starwars force trainer. yes, you heard me right. a product to train your jedi powers.

4g iphone?

call it speculation, but this could be a hit.

check out this concept image of an iPhone 4G, which still might only be on 3g networks, but new age technology. you can that the phone is inspired by the new unibody macBook design aesthetic. this concept (only a concept ya'll) kicks an upgraded 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS navigation, 32GB of on-board storage, and a removable battery, things we all kind of hoped for on the first two generations.

if i'm looking clearly, i see no volume buttons on the side, but TWO camera...one on the back, and one for ichat.

the isophone

this is rather unreal. the isophone, is meant to allow you to have phone conversations with completely no distractions, and peace of mind. to quote their release:

"The Isophone is essentially a telecommunications device providing a service that can be described simply as a meeting of the telephone and the floatation tank.

The user wears a helmet that blocks out all peripheral sensory distraction whilst keeping the head above the surface of the water. The water is heated to body temperature blurring the physical boundaries of the users body. Floating in this manner frees up to 90% of the brains workload normally engaged with calculating the lie of gravity. In combination, a space is created for providing a pure, distraction free environment for making a telephone call.

Effectively going against the grain of mainstream design, the Iso-phone trades contemporary preoccupation with efficient, ubiquitous and multi-functioning products for quality and depth of a singular experience, requiring total immersion into the telecommunications media."
