Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 , The newest version of BE supports external games. There are currently two packages available. One is more of a video game style product the other is a particle generator which produces beautiful constantly changing visual effect. In the first, called Inner Tube, the client has control (to varying degrees) of a spaceship flying through a tunnel. In the simplest form the speed of the ship is controlled by meeting thresholds. The better you do the faster the ship goes the more points are scored. The steering is done by the games AI. There is an option to have the AI steer the ship but the precision of steering is eeg controlled. The final option is to have the client steer the ship using the arrow keys on the keyboard. In this mode the steering accuracy can be affected by eeg or not. Other parameters such as amount of fog in the tunnel, length of exhaust trail, and transparency of the ship can also be eeg controlled. Different parameters can be controlled by different thresholds or you can have everything controlled by the " and' for all thresholds (met999999999999errrrrrrrrrrrrpoo Cat walking across keyboard 8-) ) The setup is straight forward with drop down menus and check boxes.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I saw the games at ISNR but I am not sure if I want to pay the price, about $150. Would other games not work?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Other games would have to have the code changed in order to allow BE to control some aspects of the game. With the new flash player and ability to work with games like InnerTube I suspect it won't be long before some enterprising folks have other options available.
