le projet Epoc nous vient de la société Emotiv Systems qui vient de le présenter à la Game Developer Conference. Ce casque serait capable de ‘lire les pensées’ de celui qui le porte.
L’application se composerait d’une technologie permettant de repérer les expressions du visage RL pouvant se transposer sur un avatar.Les sentiments d’excitation, de tension ou de calme seraient aussi analysées et pourraient actionner des séquences en rapport avec ces états.
Les joueurs se verraient offrir un nouveau scénario en fonction de leurs émotions (bande son …).
Tout comme Second Life, les instigateurs du projet sont plus qu’intéressant :Allan Snyder, Director of The Centre for the Minds, holds the Peter Karmel Chair of Science and the Mind at The Australian National University, where he is also Head of the Optical Science Centre and Professor of Visual Science and Optical Physics. At the University of Sydney he holds the 150th Anniversary Chair of Science and the Mind.
Previously he was with the Yale University School of Medicine. He has degrees from Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University College, London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and is the society’s 2001 Clifford Paterson Prize Lecturer.
Ed Fries, Director
Ed Fries got his start in the 1980s, developing video games for the Atari 800. In 1986, after a short detour for a BS in Computer Science, he joined Microsoft and spent the next ten years as one of the founding developers of Excel and Word, and then later as the creator of Microsoft Game Studios. Over the next eight years, he grew his team from fifty to over twelve-hundred people, published more than 100 games (including more than a dozen million-plus sellers), co-founded the Xbox project, and made Microsoft one of the leaders in the interactive entertainment business.
In 2004, Ed left Microsoft, and now he enjoys spending time with his wife and young sons, as well as consulting with a broad range of publishers and game developers from all over the world.
