This is a bit off topic but so cool we had to pass it along. Mattel is getting ready to show off Mindflex, a game that puts your mind to work in a unique way. Mindflex was on display at the CES this year but Kevin and I missed it so it’s good that Mattel has reached out to us to give us the scoop on what looks to be pretty cool.
Mindflex has the gamer don a lightweight headset and then move a foam ball using just brainwave activity. You concentrate on raising and lowering the ball and it just happens. What makes this so unique is that it’s a game, and a great use of technology in its own right. It’s sort of mobile tech in a way; you do move the ball around with your mind. Check it out in the following video:
