Looks like there is more than one way to control your avatar in Second Life, using a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) that was developed by a research team led by professor Jun’ichi Ushiba of the Keio University Biomedical Engineering Laboratory. All the user needs to do is think about moving various body parts, where walking forward involves moving one’s feet, while turning left and right will require you to imagine moving either left and right arms. You’ll need to wear a rather funky looking headset though before you can get started. It is hoped that the BCI system will onne day help people with serious physical impairments communicate and do business in Second Life.
