Luke Skywalker, eat your heart out. Emotiv’s elegant, lightweight EPOC headset is a piece of cutting-edge technology that grants Yoda-like telepathic powers, allowing players of computer games to move items on screen with merely their thoughts. Due for release by year’s end, the $299 device will come bundled with an adventure game in which players complete tasks for an Asian sensei. “We’re hoping to help evolve the way humans interact with machines,” says Tan Le, CEO of Emotiv, an Australian company with researchers in Sydney and an engineering lab here in San Francisco.
