CES is the place to be for the latest in consumer electronics technology, but it’s also great for seeing what nonsense toy makers have lined up for the next year, and CES 2009 was no different – mind control, Nintendo intellectual property infringement, it had it all, and we played with everything!
Christmas might have been and gone, but you can see all the toys you’ll be buying in a year’s time, and the finest CES had to offer, after the jump.
We’ve already seen the mind controlled Star Wars Force Trainer toy, but now Mattel has its own brainwave operated time-killer. Dubbed the Mindflex, it’s an obstacle course which you steer a ping pong ball around, using the power of your brain.
Star Wars fans and hackers rejoice: A new Force Trainer toy is set to use your brainwaves to control physical objects!
The new toy uses a wireless headset, and lets you raise and lower a ping pong ball in a 10 inch high tower, by interpreting brainwaves as signals to speed up or slow down a fan at the bottom.
