Here I am waiting around for my Hover Board, long after Michael J. Fox floated across the big screen more than two decades ago, when I hit upon a new type of skateboard from Chaotic Moon Labs, an Austin based company of awesomeness. This new board from Chaotic Moon Labs honestly makes me more excited than the Hover Board “imagined” in Back to the Future..

The new “Board of Imagination” is different from any other skateboard ever invented.

Why? Simple: the Board of Imagination is mind-controlled.

Here’s a video that literally blew my mind:

So the question I have to ask: Is this Science Fiction, or for real? The answer is: it’s for real…

I followed my sleuthing to an article on CNET, by Molly Wood, which lead me to the Emotiv Store, where you can actually buy the EPOC neuroheadset (the mind controller device). Judging from the video of Molly Wood using the Board of Imagination, it isn’t totally easy to control. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but I still want one!

Is this the dawn of a new era of Jedi devices, mind controlled and full of imagination and awesomeness? What’s next, will we be reading each others thoughts through wireless hairnets?

Whatever the future tech may hold, keep up the awesome development, Chaotic Moon Labs!
