If you haven’t heard about this, whether you are a video gamer or not, pay close attention, it is just one way that will change the way we interact computers. Xbox is developing a new controller that tracks body motions…no controller at all. check it out: Xbox Project NatalThis next one is really amazing and out standing: Tweeting with your thoughts alone. Put on a headset, calibrate the alphabet to your EEG thought patterns and then start thinking the letters. This is important to us as photographers, because, well, imagine what will happen when someone takes this brain reading technology and fuses it to a Wacom Tablet and then Photoshop….you sit down, put on a headset and “think” your way through post processing. 🙂

Think our way through Post Processing… could it really be?
Yes, give it some time. What these articles are suggesting is that computer interface is changing. If you can send a message (tweet) today with thought alone…why not select and move a Photoshop Tool? Look for the Natal to be released in 2010.
