Nintendo Wii 2.0: A mind-controlled console

Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by Bradley Hebdon in Features

Moving away from sloppy remotes, Nintendo Wii is entering the brainwave era with a slick mind-controlled console. At least this is the thrilling desire of hi-tech dreamers over at T3 Magazine who want to see jaws dropping and brain cells working their way through gaming.

The ground-breaking concept, part of the magazine’s future tech feature, introduces the idea of a Wii headset accessory that allows the mind of the user to control edgy characters through the popular action games and sporting events. Also featuring immersive in-ear headphones for enhanced experience, the cutting-edge Nintendo will be able to capture the brainwaves of the excited gamer and turn it into a digital action in the cyber world.

Inspired by the revolutionary Emotiv wireless device, the Nintendo Wii 2.0 relies on technology that is not simply a spark in the science fiction sphere.

Could this bring a whole new meaning to the word, “Couch Potato”? At least with the current Wii, folks are up-and-about, burning calories, twisting ankles and breaking HD TV’s.

    Why would you call it ugly? It’s completely irrelevant to this thread the “look” of the device. In fact you should pay attention more to the really important stuff. And yes most likely consumers will purchase it if you haven’t payed attention to the sales on the Wii and the investments on Project Natal’s technology. So your comment is a complete failure to this thread.

      Nah it wouldn’t be anywhere NEAR that price. It would be useless anything of that range in price to hit the video game market. It’s just a system of sensors. Look up prices for sensors that read EEGs and you’ll have a clue of he price. The real money spender is in the software to pick it up, that’s another story.

    Cale, thanks for your feedback. Well it’s a T3 concept, and is just speculation of where the Wii could be headed in the not too distant future.
