Since we have spoken about Ipad and the way that it's interface should revolutionize de world, I have decided to talk about what I actually think is the revolution itself, Brain-computer Interfaces.
We are actually talking about interfacing with devices solely by using your brain. Actually, research on this topic is often related to prosthetic devices, acquired blindness vision substitution and other benefits for people with special necessities. It is undeniable that this research may bring unmeasurable possibilities for these users, however, I can't stop myself from picturing future computer interfaces based on this technology. I know for sure that everyone has already seen the Monkey and prosthetic arm video.
I bet that Avatar stuff does look a little less impossible now!
One can only imagine the large number of applications and games that could benefit from such interfaces, however research is still some years away from mapping brainwaves perfectly and farther from doing so for different individuals and brainwaves patterns. Another issue and always worth considering is the price those interfaces would impose to our monthly low budget of tech gadgets. Shall we break our piggy banks for this ones?
