OCZ Actuator Next Gen Video Gaming

Keyboard, Mouse and Gamepads: Those are the standard controls of today’s video gamers and I personally did not think that this would change anytime soon. Then came the presentation of the OCZ Actuator which changed my mind. It looks like a high tech headband but it’s actually more than that.

It decodes neural signals into unique commands that are used to interact with the computer. I found a video on Youtube that was taken on the CEBIT 2007 (a year ago) were someone was playing an ego shooter with a mouse and the OCZ Actuator. He did not have to press buttons to shoot, he did not have to press the forward key to move, all he needed the mouse for was to look around.

That’s a whole new level of gaming in my opinion. OCZ will be present on this years Cebit again which takes place from March 4th to 9th in Hannover, Germany. The release date (planned) for the device is mid 2008.

    I wonder whats faster, the signal going from your brain to your finger to click the mouse or threw the cable to the interpreter on the computer?

    Well it’s apparently much faster using the Actuator.
