The Most Interesting Technology Right Now

When I'm really bored, I like to find new/upcoming technologies to get myself excited enough to work on my game projects again. I'm having a hard time right now finding anything inspiring.

What technologies are you really fascinated with right now? Could be game related or not - it just needs to be cool.

 

"Mind controllers" is one I'm pretty fascinated with.

that's OCZ but I don;t think they even make it anymore(2008-10)

[EDIT] It's not sooo new and haven't seen many new ones lately though..

here's a newer one:

*changed the video here, the other one was meh..

This one is Emotiv Epoc (seems to be the only decent on left)

lol it's got a looooong way to go..

 

Picosatellites is another one I been interested in lately. I've always wanted to make my own satellite

PC-MEMS... This type of stuff could get really cool...

 

Awesome! Thanks for posting all these =-)

Ooh, yes, these are indeed cool - I did some development with one such device (an earlier Emotiv, as I recall) a few years back. I don't know if things have changed, but the one I used was disappointingly inaccurate. That second video looks like it might be better.

I'd not heard about this one - definitely cool. I wonder what kinds of things people with $40k to spare will start chucking into space...

Wow! That's like robot origami... on a really tiny scale. This seems like the origin of Deus Ex Boxguards =-)

I've been checking out some videos on ITER progress - so many interesting things going on with that project:

Infrared depth camera? It's not very new but it gets more and more common and probably gets installed on tablets in the future

 

Ok, so this isn't really new tech, but still kinda cool:

 

hahaha I'd like to play a game versus that robot

whoa those PC-MEMS are really crazy, thanks for posting that one

 

Very useful one:

 

Ha! Is that a real thing machine, or just CG?

 

It's CG, from a beer commercial. Still though... I'll bet there would a good market if someone built one.

 

The pinnacle of gaming technology.
You can play pong at the crosswalk with the opposite side, while you wait for green.

 

hahahahaha awesome
