The current head of the company Valve Gabe Newell talked to the New Zealand press and told reporters about his vision of technological progress and promising scientific industries. One of the most important areas, according to the developer, should take neurocomputer interfaces…
Newell I am convinced that today it is very important to invest in technologies that focus on the analysis of brain signals, as well as their direct processing by electronic equipment. This, says the head Valve, can provide developers with critical information about the player experience of certain elements of virtual worlds.
But a real revolution Newell calls the possibility of direct influence on the human brain, where, thanks to the stimulation of its individual parts in the future, people will be able to immerse themselves in real and reliable simulations of reality. Previously, the developer compared such an idea with the universe of the movie “The Matrix”…
“The visual component, the general level of sensations that we can convey [напрямую в головной мозг] so impressive that the reality we are accustomed to will cease to exist as the only objective metric for the perception of visual information. The real world will lose in volume, colors, become gray and boring against the background of what can be created in the minds of people, “says Gabe Newell.
Despite the fact that the very concept of such technologies, especially in consumer equipment, seems a bit fantastic, Newell is confident that research in the field of neurocomputer interfaces is developing at a tremendous speed and is already showing impressive results. Valve itself is actively studying the technology of neurocomputer interfaces for its further application in games. Earlier, Newell’s wards found that it is much easier to ensure the transmission of signals to the motor cortex of the brain than to make a person feel cold.
In 2023, Valve introduced Half-Life: Alyx and expressed interest in further developing the Half-Life universe.
