Imagine an interactive video player that requires you to make up and down motions. Each up and down movement will advance the movie you are watching by one frame.
The result is that you must remain actively engaged to watch your film. #guitarhero

No charge for this one as a way of making it up to you that I didn't tickle your funny-bone properly this time. I'm also whipping myself vigorously as self-induced punishment.
I hope that is enough for you to rekindle your faith in my elite f-ing commenting skillz. #guitarhero

Improbable scenario! Simply because he'd also have stepped on the brakes, thus as the trunk opens, his groceries will be moving forward.
Can't discount the laws of inertia ;P #guitarhero

come to think of it, that would look awesome (turning his car into a potential grocery cannon)! #guitarhero

Well then this would be a nightmare.
Ideally it should be in an armband type fixture but there would be no way to correct for wrong positioning etc. Although it would be pretty sweet if they could get it to work properly everytime.

From what I can make out from the techspeak in that short clip, the device registers the small electrical signals from the muscles and basically translates them into "button presses".
Basically, once it knows which muscle corresponds to which button, it should work every time.
What would be interesting is how they would differentiate between muscle movements. Having your car door swing open as you grip the gear shift, not a good idea. #guitarhero

I for one see this as the beginning of luke skywalkers' hand coming to life.
As soon as you have miniaturized the I/O Hardware the possibilities are quite astounding. #guitarhero

Long-distance surgery (which AFAIK, already exists but translates stylus movements more than actual manual movement), prosthetics, etc.
The whole question of tactile feedback would be interesting. #guitarhero

Example: Turn off the security sensor in my house by using the vulcan salute or turn on music by pointing with my thumb extended.
Geeky, but a hell of a lot of fun. #guitarhero

do a Y: dim the lights
do an M: turn on some music
do a C: candles turn on by themselves.
do an A: wine and glasses come out of the coffee table.
you turn and point to her, wink, and you smile and it shines like a young sun.

GUITAR HERO IS QUITE CLEARLY DOOMED
Bonus complaint: Oh my god people stop making videos using the most obnoxiously terrible sounding narrators. #guitarhero

Is this really... I mean, why would one even bother making a study about that? #research
