Brain Stimulation Devices and Augmented Reality Computer Games

Brain Stimulation Devices and Augmented Reality Computer Games - Future is Near, It's Here

By Lance Winslow

There seems to be many interesting patents which have been filed lately in regards to computer gaming. Microsoft, Sony, and others have been really filing a ton of somewhat telling patents which seem to point to an augmented reality future, which will start with the gaming sector, as in Xbox and other systems. Already we see the military and industry setting up simulation training using similar systems, perhaps more robust and more costly, but essentially the future of the computer game sector is foretold in these technologies.

And it's not just gaming these days, as other industries are not playing around either. You see, there are a number of companies on the move in this sector, in fact, there was an interesting article not long ago on Fierce Medical Devices Online, in their newsletter alert titled; "Brainsway Looks to Raise $30 Million" by Liz Jones Hollis posted on April 12, 2011. This is an Israeli company which use "non-evasive deep transcranial magnetic stimulation" to activate parts of the brain used most in learning.

In other words, it will increase your comprehension, allow for better imprinting of neurons, and insure learning at that the highest possible human level, perhaps even just beyond what's humanly possible. Which gets me back to the computer games where you are up against impossible odds and all powerful virtual opponents, so what if your brain was pushed up a notch, well then so too would your level of play right, I mean how could it not.

Now then, this Brainsway device which sends pulses deep into the brain might be able to help with brain disorders and fix serious issues, and yes more tests obviously have to be done, but so far things are looking rather interesting, and if this technology holds true the cause, what about a healthy brain? What about the Sony Patents which are for inciting various moods into the players mind, or what about the Microsoft Patents for controlling the game with thought alone?

Makes sense as people are controlling cursors on computer screens with thought alone now, which means maybe these computer games in the future won't have joy sticks at all. Does that mean you can live a virtual life in your sleep? Yes, probably and this may sound eerie but it really appears that all those Sci Fi movies are coming fast and furious into our near future. As in 5-10 years, and whereas, all the technologists are thinking ahead, I guess I should ask, why aren't you? Okay so, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
