Basically it’s a headband connected to your computer via a black box. What it does is translate your biosignals into computer commands. Imagine the possibilities if this works!

An unboxing and review of the NIA. Definitely gives a good view on what you can expect:

Another amazing example:

When our Multitouch Wall is ready I’m definitely getting one since it only costs 120 euros at Alternate.

I can imagine some awesome concepts combining Multitouch with the NIA. Just make a small nod and your context menu pops up, or maybe the application sets the focus on the window your are looking at. Or maybe even generate some artwork by just moving some muscles in your head. Great stuff!

I’m very interested in your opinions and/or ideas, so please hit the comments below!
