Have you thought this was possible?

Some of you guys who are into game development would have heard about the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) which co-incidentally happened to be in San-Francisco this year. Where I'd be going in the end of the month for some work assignments. However, I'd miss GDC though (since it's over already). Here's a really cool piece of technology showcased during the event (photos courtesy of CNET Networks)

This technology will require you to put on a headset which would pick up the signals from your brains and allow you to play game without any contacts. Some really cool stuff! The company behind this cool piece of technology is Emotiv Systems. whom expects to make this technology available next year. Who knows? Microsoft's XBOX team might just buy them over entirely to compete with Nintendo's Wii.

Some great folks at TechRepulic (a CNET Company) have cleverly di-assembled the Wii controller. Click here to read more!

Last but not least, researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne have managed to create a robot which is able to move both in land and in water. WOW! If they ever make this robot a cosumer technology, I'd be the first to buy it. Haha! Who knows? Send it to go to some beachers overseas to pick seashells for me?
