Haier made an amazing futuristic concept called haier brainwave TV. this is a mind controlled tv, with this new technology in the future you can play a video games with your brain. This mind-controlled 58-inch Brain Wave TV showed at CES 2012. you just have to wear in a controller on your head. The controller attaches to your earlobe with a small metal pad on your forehead to capture signals from brain. The Haier mind-on technology now only runs a few video games on the TV. Unfortunately It doesn’t help you change channels and control the volume at this time.
Haier has teamed up with a firm called NeuroSky to develop the minds-on TV. The technology from NeuroSky enables the accessory to read electrical signals from your head and translate into digital signals. Haier’s Kenji Hinga says the accessory doesn’t read the thoughts of users. It just enables signals from brain to control the TV set.
The Haier mind-on TV will not respond to your brain if you have an anxious mind and sweaty forehead. The company says user should have a relaxed mind and dry forehead to make use of the device. In future, we can see the Haier mind-controlled TV with some more full-fledged features.
Haier is working on to develop the technology further. It will add more features to the Brain Wave TV to grant it an ability to change channels by just thinking about it. Haier now sells the Brain Wave TV in China for a price that is equivalent to roughly $3,000. The company has not exposed when the minds-on TV will land in stores in the U.S. and other markets.
It seems that in the future there will be more cool mind controlled gadget other than this haier brainwave TV. See also the Mind Controlled Car Concept.
