Clint Thompson Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I don't think it sold (prototype) and IIRC it had it's issues (headstrain, weird use, limited play time because of headaches) and quite frankly using those many muscles in your head/face is bound to make you look older quicker hahahaha..... I would be afraid it'd be too expensive to reproduce properly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I don't think that was ever released for sale--and never got beyond prototype (and media hype) status. I dunno if any schematics exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 It absolutely did not make the market. There were a few prototypes, one of them was complete. Not sure who owns it but it is out there still. Few games were developed before people started getting headaches. Cool idea that turned out to be a bit gimicky, although I still woulda been into it for sure! Originally developed from the Atari Bionics medical systems that were being designed by Regan Cheng in 1981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prototype unit: 1) Take any old extension cord you have lying around. 2) Cut off the female end. 3) Separate the two wires. 4) Strip each end of the two wires back about 1 inch. 5) Using duct tape, tape one wire to each side of your forehead*. *Note: A resistor or two might be needed. You may want to experiment on the family pet first to determine the exact value. Production plan: 1) Make millions of these. 2) Sell millions of these. 3) Profit!

Lord Thag Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I seem to remember hearing that when they debued the thing at show, no one could get it to work right, and I think one of the units even dropped and broke. Still, it would be cool to have something like it. You could make something like they use for lie detector tests that detects changes in temperature, heratbeat or whatever, and perhaps make a game that utilized it. Lot of work, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not start up Game Pods instead? 846667[/snapback] dude, i dont think its dated, it was the razors edge in gaming technology, now, its state of the art,(note, a razors edge is much more better than a state of the art) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
