That's pretty amazing, the fact he's able to click the pause button with his brain alone is insane to me - that's like Apple Vision Pro without the gigantic goggles.

This is a good point. Seems like a likely candidate for an S curve in tech development. i.e. next 15 years of VR are improvements to camera, display, and tracking technology. Following 15 years are brain implants.

It is fascinating. But looking at this guy condition, playing games would be IMHO not the prio. I would hook up the remote controlling to a robotic exoskeleton, for just be back and function normal. I guess that also can be detected ( intention to move feet or hands in any direction ).

But let's see, we are really at the beginning.

Well I don't think those exoskeletons even really exist yet. So baby steps.

Of course, but that’s going to take so much more time and effort. You can see how much joy this man is in just having the autonomy to move a mouse again. That’s honestly amazing.
