It's been delayed for over a year but this week is supposed to be the week that the Emotiv Epoc controller is scheduled to ship via mail order to those who have pre-ordered it. Just in case you haven't been following along for the past couple of years, the Epoc PC game controller goes over the head and uses brain activity to control in-game actions.

The controller made its debut at the Game Developers Conference in 2008 but a live demo of the device in front of the media didn't go over too well. In other words it didn't work (the company blamed wireless interference). Since then Emotiv has kept something of a low profile. But now the company is claiming that their orders for their first shipment are all sold out and any new orders will ship in two weeks. The $299 price tag is still pretty steep, though.
