PerriKaryal appeared at DreamHack Stockholm and sat down with Gaming World Media’s Jake Lucky for a few minutes to discuss his origins and, more importantly, his future. thing. For some time, Perri has been creating some of his best content using EEG devices that translate brain activity into game-based input.
Over the past few months, she’s defeated Elden Ring’s most powerful bosses using only her brain waves, and more recently she’s tried to master the FPS title using her EEG-based abilities. At DreamHack, she talked about where it all goes from here.
‘It’s getting more and more complicated’
As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Perri goes out of his way to make the ‘mind control’ game activities even more complicated. Speaking with Jake Lucky at DreamHack Stockholm, she explained:
Currently I’m trying to get more and more complex. So I’m looking for a way to do this and do it using a variety of inputs, like World of Warcraft. I keep adding more and more commands by combining multiple EEGs, literally by wearing two or more at the same time.
I’m trying to play a game with just mind control. Currently I’m using mind control for the buttons on my virtual Xbox controller and gyro and eye tracking for the joystick, and I’m trying to get rid of that completely.
Perri explained to Jake that her next conquest would be a Psychic-only Pokémon run using: only Mind control.
As for technology breaking into the mainstream, Perri, who has a master’s degree in psychology, admits it’s a bit outdated and inaccurate, but the next steps could include: implant. In the context of Musk’s Neuralink technology, the implant could avoid the need to wear multiple devices to use brain waves to play games.
Perri expects advances in this technology to be positive in the near future. Jake asked her where she thought this would go in the next ’10 years or more’.
I believe in not just building immersive gaming rigs, but rigs for everything. Recently, it was really cool to see a robot arm being controlled using mind control. I hope we get to a point where it can help people with accessibility issues. Currently, this technology is too difficult to use to be a truly viable solution.
If you can get to a level where it’s really helpful and immersive, you can create a game that matches that. I think the possibilities are endless.
The sky is the limit.
Would you invest in a technology like EEG for gaming if it were added to the market? Let us know in the Insider Gaming forums.
