Mattel’s Mind Flex Game Removes The Game Pad In Favor Of Brain Scanning
January 5th, 2009 3:16 PM | by Christen da Costa | 5 Comments
The days of mind control are upon us, albeit in games. Mattel’s latest, the Mind Flex game, tests a user’s concentration by challenging them to place a ball through a number of hoops. Sounds simple, right? Actually, there is no game pads, just a brain scanning device. The user wears the device, and through thought alone has to power a fan that will float the ball through the game’s obstacles.
We’ll try to make our way over to Mattel’s CES booth to get a hands on, but you can expect the product to launch later this year for about $80.
