This thing would just be a riot for someone with terrets.


Dunno, if the control was super fast than it might add some advantage for games.

I thought you were referring to a surf board before I read the article. I think right now I'm more comfortable with a mouse.

I think they had that at a booth in Sceince world last year.

Science world is this big sphere shaped building that has a lot of crazy sceince things inside and a IMAX inside the sphere!

Mother: Billy, do you have some kind of seisure?
Billy: *BLINK**BLINK* Im destroying *BLINK* ALIENS! *BLINK* WHOA! That one almost got me! *BLINK**BLINK**BLINK*

An FPS would be a health danger for the "nouse". I think its a really stupid idea.

Facial spasms could be devistating. Sneeze and you never know where you could end up on the web.

Now this actually might have some promise, I think

Not that there's anything wrong with just using the mouse.

It looked neat. I think it has at least some promise for the future.

wait i don't get it...does moving your nose mean turning your head? or...what?

From what I gathered from the article, only very small movements are necessary. For instance, the amount your nose moves when you wink your eye.
