Your not really doing anything pro-actively to make the ball rise, or the fan blow. All you have to do is think about anything… Seems like a crock-o-crap to me. In other words, they could make it so any thought you have could make a computer do a task, one which is completely unrelated to the thought. More or less any brain activity makes the device turn on, and do whatever the device is designed to do.. I’m more impressed with the EKG than the ping-pong ball and fan.

Can you just imaging the day where you focus your attention on a shape on the screen to log onto youtube? think of your password, see it in your mind, and you can log in!

You don’t have to, if you shop around you can get this for about $50 now so its a better deal.

NikoKun, you can forget mouse and keyboard’s, you can buy voice controlled device’s that can do it for you!

and have you seen the other mind control game’s, they are much better.

well put. It would be one thing if you put the head set on then make the ball move without a cylinder with a fan making pressure under a ping pong ball..

@cut22, so you’ll only be impressed if someone creates a device that magically defies physics? O_o

It’s pretty damn impressive that they’ve got a way to read brain activity, to control a device. Amazing technology right there.

Devices like this will become common place eventually. Forget about that keyboard and mouse, you’ll be typing and clicking buttons all with your thoughts someday.

I don’t see any way you can call this a “trick”.

July 13, 2010

it has to be plugged in dumbass, you control the machine with your brainwaves.

cut22

July 13, 2010

In other words it makes an electrical connection using the musculature in your forehead to have an electric motor create the force to levitate the ball. No trick, but no great accomplishment either. Show me a ball levitating without the device. Then I’ll be impressed

This was back when Star Wars was cool and you did not care about what is was worth. I was 11 years old in Xmas ’78 and it was just like this.

it was an awesome generation! Better then now. Toys when I was a kid were built to last. I have a daughter and it shocks me how toys we buy her, no matter the price break so easy.

That was awesome and excellent times. Christmas of 1979 I was less then a month away from 6 and I remember it well….Star Wars was always my favourite toys (even now as an adult I still collect Star Wars). Great video, 5/5

Holy Shit! I wonder what collector has that blue sanggletooth, he’s still out there somewhere! Crazy

Who are they? the Rockefellers? What a tour de force of Xmas gifts…If a time machine were invented some “comic book guy” would no doubt go back in time and grinch those toys before they boxes were torn asunder rather than altering some major historical event….What great memories…

Very cool video! I do a weekly show here on youtube that’s all about vintage Star Wars toys. It’s called “Vintage Star Wars Weekly”. You should check it out sometime.
