‘Whether it’s casting magic spells using your mind or relaying expressions in real time, EmoKey links the Emotiv technology to your applications by easily converting detected events into any combination of keystrokes. EmoKey is a nonintrusive, lightweight, background process that runs behind your existing games or applications. EmoKey lets you create profiles that define how detections are mapped to keystroke combinations. Your profiles can then be saved and shared so you can use profiles that your friends have created for your favorite games and software. EmoKey profiles can be as simple as linking the Expressiv smile detection to characters such as “:)”, so that chat applications instantly know when you smile. Or they can be as complex as linking a “lift” command to a sequence of keystrokes that trigger a levitation spell in a game.’ Also planned is the ‘Emotive Game’ which sounds promising as it comes to ‘immersionism’: ‘Soon you can have the fantasy of having supernatural powers and controlling the world with your mind. Your journey will take you through beautiful forests, mysterious valleys, and fantastical temples-and this dramatic landscape adjust itself based on how you feel. Destiny, through the the magic of your mind, will be yours to command!‘ Emotive Game features bravely announced:
- Manipulate & control objects by thought.
- Wield amazing supernatural powers just by thinking of them.
- Creatures in the game react to your facial expressions.
- Environments change according to your emotional state.
