Controller-less computer games

While playing Wild Gunman in the Café 80, the companion of a young Elijah Wood (who even then looked hobbit-y) tells Marty, “You mean you have to use your hands? That’s like a baby’s toy.” It’s not totally clear if he’s upset because the game requires a controller or because it requires you to move – but we’re actually very close to games that require neither. Kinect for the Xbox 360 is a controller-less gaming system which will be launched later this year (and isn’t entirely unlike the PlayStation EyeToy which was released in 2003). Meanwhile, scientists have been working on games which can be controlled using only the power of your mind. They’re not in stores just yet – but they might be very soon.
