We are fast progressing towards mind controlled interfaces that are implemented into our daily lives aimed primarily to ease the burden on other parts of our body and also to speed up the reaction time. Cogni Game is the latest application of this very technological aspiration as it looks to emulate the very popular table tennis game but the difference being that the gameplay is controlled only by mind and no physical contact with the joystick. With the playing field components like bats in the form of two linear axes having driven units moving along the baseline from Festo it is one hell of a human-computer interaction in harmony.
The brain-computer interface (BCI) is the main powering technology of this whole project as it combines with the CogniWare software from Festo to provide a bridge between your brain and the desirable output provided in sync. This human computer interaction would not only be useful in gaming applications but also in industrial applications too.
