Mind Games.

Focus hard and you
will be able to control Google
Glass with your thoughts alone.
Yes, your power of thoughts can
give the computer eyewear
commands to do certain things,
like taking a picture and even
posting it to Facebook.
Developed by London-based
startup This Place, the open
source MindRDR app and
Neurosky EEG biosensor work
together to transmit users'
thoughts to Google Glass.
The wearable sensor and the app
analyze users' brainwaves and
gauge their level of focus.
Concentrate hard until a
horizontal white line starts to rise on Google Glass "screen."
When the level crosses a certain threshold, MindRDR tells
Google Glass to take a picture. Stay focussed and Glass will
post the photo on social media.
"It's pretty cool when you have taken a picture and shared it,
just by thinking," said Chloe Kirton, creative director of This
Place.
The technology could also be used to help those with severe
physical disabilities such as locked-in syndrome or severe
multiple sclerosis.
The new app is yet to be approved by Google Glass team.
