SAMSUNG is to start work on the first ever smart TV that can be controlled by the user's mind, according to reports.The software will allow people to change channels and the volume using only their brain.
Samsung are to start testing first smart TVs that can be controlled by your mind, according to reportsSamsung says it is developing the technology with the help of a team in Switzerland to help those with disabilities.
The research, called Project Pontis, wants to enable "users with physical limitations to change channels and adjust sound volume with their brains".
Brain-monitoring sensors and eye-tracking hardware are currently used to identify what selections the individual intends to make.
But they hope to make so advanced it will be able to work on brain commands alone.
That means you’d only need to think about changing the volume for it to happen.
The company predicts new prototype testing in early 2019 and there is not any suggestion it would be commercially available product.
It is currently aimed at specifically helping those with severe disabilities.

"Honest Honey, it wasn't me that thought of ESPN, it must be a glitch."
In Hitchhikers Guide Douglas Adams talked about changing TV channels by waving your hand, but having to then sit very, very still while watching.
I think "smart" is exactly the wrong word.
I will not be buying Samsung i like to turn tv off myself ha ha
From a commercial point of view, adverts would be linked to our thoughts. 'Oh no, the toaster has broken' and up jumps a variety of adverts about toasters.
I am sure governments would love us to use software controlled by our brain. They would use that technology to control us further.
The less 'smart' technology we have in our private houses, the more ownership we have of ourselves.
