Commands by thought perform popular Google Glass, with the help of an innovator applicationς
Mind command recognition technology is starting to come out of the labs and into the market: British company introduced an app that connects Google Glass to wearable electroencephalographs, giving the user the ability to take pictures with the power of thought.
The newly created This Place, based in London, offers free This makes it a perfect choice for people with diabetes and for those who want to lose weight or follow a balanced diet. software MindRDR to spur the interest of developers who could develop new applications.
The application allows Google's electronic glasses to be linked to another gadget, the "biosensor" Neurosky, cost 71 pound (90 euro). The wearer's lightweight device includes electrodes that touch the head and read brain signals associated with concentration.
To take photos and upload them to Twitter, the user must focus his mind until a white line appears on the Glass screen.
An embarrassing system needs further improvement
The system is somewhat "inconvenient" and is a "a viable, viable product, a first step that should be further developed", Such as comments a TechCrunch reporter attending a demonstration of technology at The Place's offices.
EEG devices currently on the market are mainly used in toys, and equipment used in computer-assisted research and additive research is much more expensive and bulky.
But technology is moving fast and This Place is optimistic that its software could be exploited in the future by surgeons or patients with mobility problems.
«Although MindRDR's current capabilities are limited to taking and posting photos, the prospects for "telekinesis" in Google Glass are limitless.» said spokesman for the company at the BBC.
Google, for its part, has clarified that it does not have an opinion on MindRDR, nor does it offer it through Glass's app store, as it has not tried it yet.
«Of course we are interested in listening to Glass's new applications and we have already seen amazing research efforts in a variety of medical fields, from surgery to Parkinson's disease"Said a spokesman for the BBC.
