WEEK SEVEN MUSINGS

After last week's presentation, the next step is to look at a possibility for project two.  From the last project, the area which interested me the most was the medical applications of this future technology.

Specifically, the idea I would like to explore is the use of brain scanning technology to help those who cannot communicate through traditional means (verbal, physical) to communicate through their thoughts.

Of course, the idea of whether or not this is a realistic prospect for the near future needs to be addressed, however the following video shows that advances in both science and technology mean that this is a real possibility for the near future.


The issue for me is in how to use this technology in a virtual sense, without turning the project into an industrial design excercise for a headset, speaker and screen?
