Commands by thought perform popular Google Glass, with the help of innovative application
Cognitive recognition technology begins to come out of the workshops on the market: a British company has introduced an application that connects Google Glass with electrogeologists, giving the user the ability to take pictures with the power of thought.
The newly created This Place, based in London, offers free 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.
The electroencephalogram (EEG) devices on the market today are mainly used in games, while the latest technology equipmentς που χρησιμοποιείται σε έρευνες για το νοητικό έλεγχο υπολογιστών και προσθετικών μελών είναι πολύ expensivelarger 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 today's possibilities του MindRDR περιορίζονται στη λήψη και την ανάρτηση φωτογραφιών, οι προοπτικές της “τηλεκίνησης” στο Google Glass είναι απεριόριστες» said spokesman for the company at the BBC.
Google, for its part, clarified that it has no opinion on MindRDR, nor does it offer it through app store of Glass, as he has not yet tried it.
«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.
