You could be Professor X in 2010 with this Wii

Ever imagine having abilities like Professor X from the X-Men comics? Well, T3 Magazine imagines that one day a mind-control device will come knocking on the market door. And it'll take the shape of a Nintendo Wii console.

T3 believes that in a future iteration, there will be a Wii Headset which will use our brainwaves to control our onscreen characters. It will also feature an immersive in-ear headphone for the sound effects. Meanwhile, the Wii Remote will be updated to having only one button to point and press.

Gaming via brainwave activity isn't a new or novel idea. In fact, Singapore Science Center organized a Mindball game demo a few years back. So the idea of a Wii Headset utilizing brainwaves to control isn't so farfetched.

Of course, if this follows through, then the whole point of exercising and working the accelerometer would come to nought in the near future.
