Science Fiction Becomes a Reality - With the New Star Wars Levitation Toy
Posted by Wade, 4 days ago Mar 24, 2009 10:14

Okay, I admit, I am a bit of a Star Wars geek. I know this has nothing to do with video games, but I thought it was cool, and would pass it along to you.

A company out of the US, Uncle Milton,  has come out with a toy called the Star Wars Force Trainer. The toy uses EEG technology to transmit your alpha and beta brainwaves from a head set to wirelessly drive a motor which powers a fan that sends a sphere up a tower. You can progress from Padawan to Jedi Master, as you use “The Force Trainer” through 15 levels of Jedi training. Along the way you will be encouraged by Obi Wan, Darth Vader and, of course, Yoda helping you with training tips and sound effects. The better your concentration, the more you are able to control the fan and the sphere rises.

According to Uncle Milton’s website the Star Wars Force Trainer will be available July 23rd. I also saw that it will be available in Australia in September. I will assume it will probably make it to UK shores around the same time.

I’ve written to the company to see if I could get more information, and I could only find this one pic. I’ll update you when I get more information.
