FANTASIA
We all crave for a vacation, a getaway or a fantasy to take us away from the real world and
build a world full of dreams. Our routine lifestyles get quite mundane and sometime all we
want is to escape and explore the other side. Well technology is moving at a fast place and
creating a digital dreamland to help us live our fantasies.
The gaming culture has a major influence in creating a virtual reality for individuals and
providing them with an escapism route from today’s world. Individuals are now capable of
controlling the devices with their minds to bring life into the games. In the article by Gini
Graham Scott, Mind Control is Becoming Reality, she mentions about NeuroSky. It is a
mind wave mobile headset with a forehead sensor that allows gamers to expand the game
through electric signals. Children suffering with ADHD can even increase their attention
span with the help of such games. Technologies such as Emotiv, MyndPlay and many more
are adding on to the list of mind-controlled devices. Our thoughts can now take us
anywhere and provide us with any virtual experience due to such a technological
revolution.
We are able to move one step ahead with Microsoft’s’ Illumiroom that augments the area
surrounding our home television with projected visualizations for the mere purpose of
enhancing the typical television experience.
