OCZ finally brings the Neural Impulse Actuator to mass production. Originally debuted at CeBIT 2007.

This not a new piece of technology for OCZ as it has been around since early 2007.

Both Thomas and I had the chance to check it out at NewEgg Lanfest 2K7 and I have to say, personally, I didn’t know at the time that it was a product they would be bringing to market. I assumed it was a demonstration in technology, but apparently not. I can only hope that they have improved on what I experienced as what I saw was not very responsive. As an able PC gamer, I found it more frustrating than anything, however, I can see this being a fantastic piece of technology for less capable gamers.

The device is used to control firing, jumping among other movements via simple thought. More accurately it reads the impulses your brain makes when you squint, furrow your brow, and smile. You then use these movements to control the game while simultaneously appearing to be a concerned guy with a mouth twitch that needs glasses. Hopefully, we will have the chance to get this in the labs and give this final version a look over.
