New Project: Looking for ideas 3

"Mindball® is a two persons game controlled by the players brain waves. The player being most relaxed wins the game.
Mindball is based on a concept (Brainball) invented by The Interactive Institute www.tii.se which is a cross scientific research institute, working within the areas of IT, art and digital media."

"Brainball is a game that goes against the conventional competitive concept, and also reinvents the relationship between man and machine. Instead of activity and adrenalin, it is passivity and calmness that mark the truly successful Brainball player. Brainball is unique amongst machines since it is not controlled by the player's rational and strategic thoughts and decisions. On the contrary, the participants are dependent on the body's own intuitive reactions to the game machine." Smart Studios Projects

"Brainbar is a mechanical bar that mixes drinks adapted to the visitor's brainwaves. The bar reads the brain frequencies that represent levels of stress and calm. Depending on how the bar is tuned it will then mix a drink to enhance or suppress the guest's feelings."
