1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:09,360
so today I'll be unboxing the head Mouse 2 or the uh ocz Nia neural impulse

2
00:00:06,919 --> 00:00:14,480
actuator plus I actually don't know much about this yet but I am about to

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:19,520
hopefully learn a little something about it now I do know about the original Nia

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:24,359
the original Nia used your basically your brain waves facial expressions eye

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:30,000
movements all that kind of stuff to translate into game control or just

6
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:34,200
general PC control cameraman also want want me to mention we have NC lanyards

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:38,239
coming soon these are pretty sweet I actually already grabbed one for myself

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,840
here so I have switched over my old lanyard to the new NCIX lanyard so why

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:46,320
don't we just have a look at what's on the back of the box here and it looks

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:51,399
like they say pretty much what I already said so you can concentrate that uh turn

11
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,840
it into keyboard and mouse controls new levels of gaming not previously possible

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,000
they tout it as a way to um heighten the response time for intense games so you

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:05,960
can have a thought faster than you can have a thought and then press a button

14
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:10,119
is the theory okay uh they say it doesn't take a whole lot of time I've

15
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:14,600
never actually used uh the original Nia uh or this one yet but I will take some

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:19,680
time to use this thing and see what I think of it um honestly the whole thing

17
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:24,960
sounded like a gimmick to me and when they said well we'll send you one I said

18
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,920
okay well we'll see how it goes so I'm going to try it out and I'm going to

19
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,159
approach this with an open mind because

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,920
you know what I've been surprised by stranger things being better than I

21
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:41,360
thought in the past so here we are it comes out of its little sleeve and then

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:47,240
it's a white box which comes open somehow there we are oh that's actually

23
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:52,799
a pretty nice presentation look at that okay so there's a piece of paper inside

24
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,920
please read okay thank you for particip

25
00:01:52,799 --> 00:02:00,360
oh this is probably not for uh this is probably not for end users pre-release

26
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:06,360
version of the so something something something updated biometric scan sweet

27
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:11,440
there's a bunch of new software that's uh going with the Nia plus uh rather

28
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:16,160
than the old Nia so that's pretty good and then hopefully I'll be able to give

29
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,879
you a lot more details on this uh once I

30
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,480
have a chance to go through this thing and actually test it so why don't we

31
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:27,640
have a look at the included stuff in the Box first we have the Mia unit

32
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:33,000
itself okay so this is kind of a brushed aluminum thing it's got some dust on it

33
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:36,040
but no big deal it has kind of um like a

34
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,680
curvy shape to it very Space Age looking

35
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:42,319
I suppose it's uses a USB interface and that looks like a reset switch in the

36
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:47,879
back here uh let's go around to the front that is the n link so I'm assuming

37
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:51,800
that's how it plugs into the headband and then up on the top we've got our Nia

38
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,519
branding again little brushed aluminum box it's quite heavy actually so there's

39
00:02:53,480 --> 00:03:00,840
got to be something inside there there's your ocz branding on the top there's my

40
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:06,879
serial number the warranty is void if you remove that or that all right so

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,560
there's the Nia unit itself and here is

42
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:13,360
the headband it's quite flexible now they say it's one size fits all but I

43
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,480
guess that remains to be seen and I'm going to wait to put that on so I'm

44
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,360
going to show you the other accessories first oh this is just a USB cable and

45
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:26,120
this is the Nia software pre-release version so it's on just a CD with a

46
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:30,120
paper printed thing on it so I'm guessing the retail one will come with a

47
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:33,480
proper CD oh this is cool this looks like little tentacles coming out of the

48
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,560
back of your head so it's like this thing is like an alien or something so

49
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:40,680
hold on there's got to be instructions or something here here here here okay

50
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:47,480
bear bear with me cuz I'm going to try and figure out how to wear the headband

51
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:51,120
if you are a beginner do this do

52
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:54,959
that no nothing they actually do not

53
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,480
tell you how to put it on so it must be

54
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,000
really easy then it must just be a matter of just putting it on this thing

55
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:04,640
looks really weird actually it's kind of a here let's just like look at the unit

56
00:04:01,799 --> 00:04:12,000
itself so it's got kind of a rubbery to it okay and it's quite soft and sort of

57
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,760
spongy feeling there's uh okay there's

58
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,639
two oh here here this may be like pre-release Hardware so might not be the

59
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,320
actual fit and finish of it but basically there's a cord going in there

60
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,639
in fact I can pretty much guarantee that's not finalized fit and finish but

61
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,400
hopefully it has all the functionality and then that ends in your little end

62
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:31,800
link there so that'll come out this way

63
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:37,160
and then and here are the little uh pads that make contact with your head so

64
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:40,919
that's what reads your your brain waves and uh translates that into something

65
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,720
that your computer can understand and then yeah so why don't we go ahead and

66
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,080
put this on so it has to make direct contact with your skin in all likelihood

67
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:55,880
uh okay you just press this little button here and you pull the tentacles out in order to uh expand the headband

68
00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:00,199
apparently I have a larger head than anyone at ocz was expecting okay and it

69
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,199
goes on just like that and the cameraman's got a

70
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:09,520
big old smile on his face he thinks this is funny yeah well laugh it up maybe

71
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:16,440
you'll be trying the Nia next cameraman okay thank you for checking out my
