But apart from that, what you'r talking about is pretty damn interesting and hints to the future of input devices. Always since Atari's dubious Mindlink controller I've been psyched about the idea to influence a game with just the power of ones mind, but that still sounds utopic to me.

So is there any commercial device that does something like this, or are there any immidiate plans to release such a controller?

Brainwave technology has been around (along with working computer interfaces for such devices) since the early 70's, as evidenced by IVBA Technologies. Although its reception by mainstream industries over the years seems to have been lukewarm at best.

Anyhoo, i've found the idea of walking around in, and interacting with strange artistic environments has always been an interesting idea (although i found Myst's slideshow horrendously boring). Though i suppose this ties into the desire to have less violent (or non-violent) FP environments/interactive Novella to explore rather than the fragfests that dominate the market.

BTW: That Falling Sand Game is cool. ^^
