Normally I am bearish on this type of technology, given the number of previous similar attempts with similar marketing that all failed to deliver. This line gave me pause, though:

"Within just a few seconds, moving the cursor with thought became almost second nature, and I was able to steer it up, down, and to the left and write by thinking about moving — but not actually moving — my hand."

That's quite a strong statement. If true, I'd hop on that bandwagon.

The article mentions all the big investors too. They had to have impressed a lot of people to get that kind of funding.

Let's hope this device holds up when it's released, and doesn't turn into another Nintendo Power Glove.

On the other hand there's Magic Leap. Which from the sounds of things will turn out to be somewhat scam-ish. :/
