San Jose, CA (February 20, 2008) – NeuroSky,
Inc., the leading innovator in cost-effective and "wearable"
bio-sensor and signal processing systems today announced that it
will be exhibiting its technology at The Game Developers
Conference 2008, February 20-22, at Moscone Center in San
Francisco, California.
Along with demonstrations of its most recent
product introductions on platforms as varied as PC´s, consoles
and mobile devices, NeuroSky will be introducing its advanced
prototype, "Project Millennia," a multi-biosensor headset
initially targeting the gaming and market research industries.
NeuroSky has teamed
with technology partners Ascend Visual Systems, Inc. (San Jose,
CA), Eye-Com Corporation (Reno, NV)
and Memsic, Inc. (Andover, MA) to support the phase-one
objectives of "Project Millennia:" the integration of brainwave
(EEG) translations, 2-D accelerometer motion, eye-tracking and
3-D surround sound into a single headset. The technology will be
utilized to control various aspects of an avatar´s movement and
demeanor.
"NeuroSky´s breakthrough
technology is creating a new dimension in human and machine
interaction," said Ascend CEO Chern Lee. "Built with Essential
Stereo™ technology, we are excited to incorporate the surround
sound audio module with NeuroSky´s headset to create very
natural sound effects while also offering comfort and reducing
ear fatigue for gamers".
"Eye-Com Corporation envisions that the
jointly developed Project Millennia by Eye-Com and NeuroSky will
greatly change the way end-users interact with the simulated and
real worlds. The integration of optical and neural sensory data
has the opportunity to open doors that we have never
considered," said Eye-Com™ CEO Dr. William Torch. "Think about
how interactive games will change by giving the end user another
tool to play the game – with and without manual dexterity! Think
about how the games themselves will change 2008 and the future!"
"Memsic is excited to be working with NeuroSky
to incorporate our proprietary accelerometer technology into
their next generation gaming headset," says Dr. Yang Zhao, CEO
of Memsic, Inc. "Moving forward I believe that there are many
additional areas our companies can collaborate to create other
groundbreaking applications and products".
NeuroSky management will be available for both
one-on-one meetings and private showings of the latest product
releases in booth #6402. To schedule an appointment with a
NeuroSky representative or to learn more about the NeuroSky
product family, please contact Greg Hyver, VP of Marketing for
