Brainwave-controlled games, apps for use at 35,000 feet
The global aerospace industry was treated to a sneak peek into the future of in-flight entertainment as Torontos InteraXon demonstrated a prototype of their thought-controlled in-flight entertainment system and the response was overwhelmingly positive. The system was shown at On the Wings of Innovation, a global aerospace symposium organized by the Ontario Aerospace Council and the Ontario Government. Attendees including executives from Boeing, Bombardier and even Canadian Astronaut Bjarni Tryggvason stayed long after the days programming ended to play one of four brainwave-controlled games specifically designed for use at 35,000 feet. It would be great to see things like this take off as international flights can get rather long when you are stuck on a plane for 12+ hours!
“We think its time that in-flight entertainment does more than simply distract you,” says InteraXon CEO Ariel Garten, “We create in-flight experiences that offer value even after the flight is over.” The system includes a NeuroSky MindSet and suite of applications InteraXon has created for the conference, which involves a meditation trainer that helps travelers relax and an EEG Golf trainer that helps users improve their concentration, focus and even their golf game.
