I can bet that everyone has seen a film "Avatar" as it became the highest grossing film in the world of all times and some people speculates the most expensive as well. Despite everything said before this post is not about it or "Avatar" is not the main subject at least. Don't understand me wrong because there could be written a lot of articles about science used in "Avatar" as it required to improve most of technologies used before starting to make the film. Anyway few Switzerland scientists have watched it way too many times as they built a robot which is controlled by.........person's minds. This futuristic idea works with a help of brain signals, just like in the film, as they are recorded using head cap. Then signals are decoded by a computer and sent to the robot which completes a given task wherever it is as technology works over 100 kilometers distance. Most of the people from films would imagine them to be used in wars but not this time. These avatars are created to help for patients to communicate with other people if they have movement disability. The aim is really very generous but it is hard to imagine that entrepreneurs are not seeing this as a very good product of future, the future when everyone will have their own avatar or even two. So depending on your mood that day you will be able which person to be. This would be not a first mind controlled product which reached market. MindFlex is a dual game which allows you to challenge your friend and check which has a better concentration. Check this out: http://mindflexgames.com/.
