Gaming Future: Remote controling people

Saw this over at cnn:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/10/25/h....ap/index.html

For the lazy:

Quote:
The technology is called galvanic vestibular stimulation -- essentially, electricity messes with the delicate nerves inside the ear that help maintain balance.

I felt a mysterious, irresistible urge to start walking to the right whenever the researcher turned the switch to the right. I was convinced -- mistakenly -- that this was the only way to maintain my balance.

The device is aimed at video games and amusemnt rides. Perhaps nintendo is already working on an attchment to the remote controller...

So theoretically I could realize my dream of being a slightly overweight shaolin kung fu master.

With the right person at the controls of course.

Holy crazy crap!

Anyone else not excited about electricity messing with my delicate ear nerves?
