At least this is the thrilling desire of hi-tech dreamers over at T3 Magazine who want to see jaws dropping and brain cells working their way through gaming. The ground-breaking concept, part of the magazine’s future tech feature, introduces the idea of a Wii headset accessory that allows the mind of the user to control edgy characters through the popular action games and sporting events. Also featuring immersive in-ear headphones for enhanced experience, the cutting-edge Nintendo will be able to capture the [brainwaves of the excited gamer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/think2switch) and turn it into a digital action in the cyber world. Inspired by the revolutionary [Emotiv](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-noisecancelling-earphones) wireless device, the Nintendo Wii 2.0 relies on technology that is not simply a spark in the science fiction sphere. I am not quite sure about the brazing blue hair dye, although I admit to the Japanese animation style magnetism, but such novel console I would love to see flirting with my credit card. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mind-controlled Consoles:** Opportunity for the development of mind-controlled gaming consoles that use brainwave technology to enhance user experience. - **Immersive In-ear Headphones:** Potential for the creation of immersive in-ear headphones that provide an enhanced gaming experience by integrating audio and brainwave technology. - **Future Tech Feature:** Trend towards featuring futuristic technology in magazines and media, encouraging the exploration of innovative ideas and concepts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for the gaming industry to incorporate mind-controlled consoles and enhance user immersion. - **Technology:** Opportunity for advancements in technology through the integration of brainwave technology into gaming consoles and headphones. - **Media and Publishing:** Opportunity for media outlets and publishers to explore and highlight futuristic technology and innovative concepts in their content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brain-Interfacing Gaming Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperx-eeg-headset.md) - [Mind-Controlled Smart Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/migu-headband.md) - [Ergonomic Mobile Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-nintendo-switch-2.md) - [Neurotechnology Gaming Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurable-x-hyperx.md) - [Retro Goggle-Style Gamer Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-classics-virtual-boy.md) - [Shapeshifting Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-game-boy-famicon.md) - [3D Display Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplight-game-console.md) - [Motion-Sensing Mobile Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-handheld-game-console.md) - [Modular Next-Gen Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-switoo.md)
