That's awesome.
This is cool. Around 8-9 years ago I bought an OCZ NIA neural link actuator. It was amazing what you could do with it.

I could actually play counter strike without touching my keyboard and mouse. I was totally useless of course. But, that I could play it at all was a fantastic experience.

I remember this. When people put in the hours to train the correct actions, it looked incredible.
I always wondered what happened to it, because it seemed to just die out.
I would've thought that sort of tech would have had a much bigger following especially for a decade ago, and the fact that IIRC it wasn't even that expensive.
I got good enough with it to get kills in Counter Strike. The problem was that it wasn't fast enough and doing multiple things in a short space of time was really difficult. While it was a fantastic buzz actually doing it, it was never going to be practical for gaming. And you needed to pend a lot of time calibrating it and learning how to use it.
It needed a lot more development and I am guessing the interest just wasn't there for the consumer market.

As absolutely cool as it is, I struggle to see how it's going to be practical to use for some time. If we could play at the speed of thought, that would be great, but it's simply not that fast. And whilst our brains can do multiple things at once, I don't know if these things can replicate that yet.
That said, I cannot see any reason why it couldn't reach that point, it's all there in neurons triggering. Train it for motion by walking/jogging/running/turning etc, it would need to be accurate, but I can see it getting there. However, is it going to be easier/more accurate, to produce 360 degree treadmills and better hand tracking etc, and simply use that as the inputs?
I'd love to be proven wrong, but I wonder if this is going to be more of a cheap gimmick addon, than a revolutionary control system.
