Adventures in Convergence XII: Sonic the...Mind Reader?
It's rare that I have two Convergence reports in one day. Wired reports that Sega is teaming up with a company called Neurosky to create and market a line of toys relying on "wearable bio-sensor and signal processing systems" to create a brain interfaced gamer experience.Yes, the makers of that sad Mario knock off "Sonic the Hedgehog" are not dead. They've just been patiently lying dormant until the right technology came along that would allow them to harness the brain power of children to blow up tanks and make avatars dance on screen. Great, just as DDR and the Wii started getting gamers to begin moving Sega rises from the grave to take out all external movement altogether. Well, you can't have it all.
