This is VERY cool! This would be probably the best type of control for a Rift and Omni VR. Also imagine if there was technology that could actually make a user see things that weren't there just by using a headset similar to this? Now something like that with the Emotiv headset and all you still need to do is somehow prevent the user from getting up and "sleep walking" and you've got an amazing VR experience! Now if only there was tech that could be used for all those 3 pieces... At least one of the required technologies exists.

 

BTW: I found this a while ago. (Since when I'm bored I check Kickstarter) Anyways guess I should have posted it in the news section. Also based on what I know the Emotiv headset already exists for sale; except that was the first generation. This is a drastically improved version.
