Here's an article on a bit of interesting news for us all, disabled or not: The University College London, in collaboration with the Graz University of Technology in Austria are developing a new technology that allows people to drive their avatars by merely thinking about movement.While this is geared toward helping those with movement disabilities such as paraplegics and sufferers of ataxia, how cool would it be to avoid the whole initial awkwardness of learning to move in SL (one of the greatest frustrations confronting potential residents) by just thinking about walking around? Clearly, mainstream adoption of this technology is years off, but it's not too early to start brainstorming other uses of Thought-enabled Technology -- I'm looking at you, QDot!
