RE: Mind control

Hi, I'm new to the list, however thought I might throw my two cents worth
in....

There was a device that tracked the location of the iris relative to the
corners of the eye, and could also detect pupil dilation. Maybe a
combination of that, plus a couple of gyros will give you what you need.
Might get a little noisy and heavy.... I did work through a mercury switch
like system that could tell the orientation of a persons head, however it
failed in G force variable conditions (didn't like the trampoline test.....)

Mind Control.  I once saw a device that pluged into your COM port and
acted as a way to move a skier around a course.  As far as I could tell,
if I put in a wet piece of paper, I would do just as well as if my finger
was in the controler.  The controler worked like this as far as I could
tell.  It was attached to your finger and measured the amount of
electrical conduct.  You could design something like that I guess.  Not
very good though.
