OC3D Exclusive: OCZ prepares Neural Impulse Actuator for shipping next week

Just been told the due date is 18th so will be shipping on 21st due to the weekend. Apparently less then 1000 units shipped to europe, marketing buzz me thinks, make them hard to get and cheap and then watch prices soar, think they maybe using the same marketing experts as the WII. I'm happy cos my orders in, nothing like a healthy trade price :)

Now this could be interesting, do you recon using this device on my 7 month old son will cause any long term effects, or do you recon the communication between him and the outside world at such a young age would be beneficial.

The first world class gamer under 1 year old could be in the making, or maybe social services would do me for child cruelty, your thoughts are muchily appreciated...

(this also brings up the question of animals, and people with disbabilities, I'm sure Professor Hawkings has one on order already)....

Its one to ponder
 
well it doesn;t actually do anything to your brain, it just has receptors that respond to the different parts of the brain reacting when you think "forward" "shoot him in the face" etc.

It might work on animals, but not in the same way. you could have one that realised when the dog was hungry etc, but a dog playing CS:S is unlikely.

EDIT: I'm considering getting one. I mean if stock is limited and demand gets high, i could make a killing. It's finding £90 that's got me though. Even if prices don't sore, it might help raise my KPD.
 
Well

Im not too bothered about the side effects as its a dry cell monitoring device, I'm epileptic and have had plenty of EEG's in my time and they use a similar device but it utilises gel to improve neural readings, so I know it won't cause him any harm, its just the ethical question, is using your child as a human guinea pig acceptable in the political corrected world gone mad we live in.

Check this video out...that monkey is flying space craft now...

I say go for it, as long as you don't go Russian ballerina style and not feed him until he gets past level 10.

That video is pretty cool, hope it doesn't take 5 years to train mine if i get one.
 
I'm not that tight

Do you realise how ratty a 7 month old gets without being fed every 3 hours, I'd never sleep again :D...I think i figured out a snag with it...you imagine your sat there after months of training the device to recognise your every whim...suddenly someone mentions pizza and before u know it yer local takeaway is delivering a selection of pizza's you've thought about...I smell trouble...and don't fall asleep with it on or god knows your dreams could come true...russian brides being delivered by the dozen....

the next big thing "Brain Spamming"...this is a can of worms I think we as a species may well be better off leaving alone :D
 
Looks good, more people selling it.... I don't know if I should hold off for an aussie place, or keep pestering places to see if there is one that will send international asap

Wow, you know I really had not thought of that. Hope I dont sound sympathetic but that sucks and I hope it works for you :) What games will you be playing?
 
Thanks for the reply llwyd.

This could be the best computer advance for lots of peeps with similar problems.

As for games - I used to play most multiplayer fps online, but became bored of coming last (Counterstrike most), so I gave up about year back. Stuck to single player since.

But now revenge could be mine :)
 
This could also be good for driving games and sims..

You could look around you if someones overtaking or turn on the headlights etc etc.. possiblities are endless.
 
OCZ are silent, again....TOO QUIET.

Didn't happen today :(

'May' next, the 9th, don't hold your breath.
