Frickin awesome, I've always wanted one of those. The potential for abuse scares me though...

But notice at the bottom: "A Sony Electronics spokeswoman told the magazine that no experiments had been conducted, and that the patent "was based on an inspiration that this may someday be the direction that technology will take us.""

Translation: We pulled this out of our ass, I bet there'll really be one someday.

Heh, it was on slashdot for a few days ago. I wonder if they actually are working on something, or just took the patent to be sure being the first to do gaming in this way.

Would be cool if it happened, but I wouldn't exactly be the first one testing it.

I'm actually glad that this technology is pretty far off. There's something about the idea that I just don't like...

"Brain Spam", anyone?

Article: 'at's pretty cool. The only problem with this is Sony got the patent so everyone else would have to pay them to use it :x

I'd call this a long, long, LONG-term investment for Sony. Start the conspiracy theories if you want, but this is either a grab for attention or a way of covering their bases.

I couldn't imagine what the cost would be if they could whip up one of these in 5-10 years to begin with.

This means a new age really "Virtual" Boy would force Nintendo to pay Sony now, and nobody wants that obviously... Maybe they are doing this to prevent Nintendo or even Microsoft from possibly using the idea in the future though...

Neat. Very neat.

If it ever gets done, then Sony wins.

This is just one patent. There are probably thousands of other ways of achieving the same ends.

Plus, the potential for harm from this is disturbingly real. If this technology ever comes out and I have a family, it will not be welcome in my home.
