OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) is just as spaced out as it sounds as you can send commands to your PC by making a certain face. NIA is a headband with three electronic sensors that can convert brains signals to commands in games. OCZ presented its NIA controller at Computex and over at Hexus they stopped by to see how well the technology really works. Even though it may sound rather tricky and absurd, the NIA concept seem to work quite well and just be moving your jaw you can various commands to the computer. Something they tested in Unreal Tournament 2004.
"Loading up Unreal Tournament 2004, I had my jaw set for run forwards with a tighter clench for jumping and a glance to either right or left for straffing left or right. Now I must admit that I thought this was going to be damn near impossible to use and more fiddly than useful but I was actually surprised at how easy and accurate it was."
We're not sure how far OCZ is planning to take NIA, but we have to admit that there are some very interesting uses for it.
