Gaming Goggles on Kickstarter

[Jungman]

Hi Guys,

I thought you'd be interested in this Kickstarter project which could have a big impact on Unity by making immersive gaming the next big thing.

I'd love to use it to try out these out-of-body experiences ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeBFjRnsAqg

At the recent mini maker faire in the Science Gallery I was impressed by the Kinect being used with the kids' programming environment SCRATCH. So I'm in the process of duplicating the setup so that I can play around with it and also entertain my grandson. It is encouraging that the developer is an Irish guy!

I attended the BBQ at TOG the next day and was letting people try out my Emotiv Epoc headset (14 sensors pickup brainwave patterns and wirelessly transmit them to control a PC). One of the guys watching happens to be doing his Phd in DCU- my local, and has access to a neuroscience lab and has invited me to come and PLAAYYY!

I'm still interested in the IoT and I've been researching how it's all going to hang together when everything is interconnected. This is the product that has most impressed me- it could become as ubiquitous as the power socket!   http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/21/hands-on-with-the-electric-imp-at-maker-faire-video/
I'm queued up waiting to get one sent to an accommodation address in the States!
