Haier announces the Cloud Smart TV at IFA 2011-- the first TV using Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology from NeuroSky.
Currently on show in prototype form, the viewers interact with the Haier Smart TV interacts using the NeuroSky MindReader headset-- translating brawinwave patterns into digital signals the TV can recognise.
The IFA prototype doesn't handle channel or volume control duties yet, but users get to blow up on-screen barrels by concentrating hard enough.
Will customers replace their remote controls with (slightly uncomfortable) mind-reading headsets? We will know this October, when the cloud Smart TV will be available.
