Business Idea of the Day

CScout: In the game Mind Flex the player wears a headset that measures the brainwaves to control a ball that floats on a cushion of air. The point is to navigate the ball through a maze of hoops. The more you concentrate the harder a fan will blow. The product will be available in retail for $80 later in 2009. CScout already reported on a similar technology called Brainball from Sweden’s Interactive Institut at WIRED’s Next Fest in New York in 2007.

It’s impressive how such a conceptual innovation has made its way to a market ready product in less than 2 years. It also reminds us of all the brain-trainer games targeting the Meta Trend of Aging Population that have become so popular in Asia, such as Nintendo’s Brain Age games or other cool brain trainers available in Japan.
