Furutistic, thought-controlled wheelchairs just a few years away
June 30, 2009/
Toyota has announced they’ve designed a thought-powered wheelchair that can read thoughts instantly. Would you use one? And how could this technology be applied to other, non-medical, products?
I dunno…
It’s often better that it takes a while between my thoughts and how I move in my chair…
I’d run over wayyy more people if my chair did what I thought instantly. Especially when someone cuts a queue or whatever.
Or I might end up chasing every other cute girl I pass in the street…
