WEBVTT

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

00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:14.480
actuator plus I actually don't know much about this yet but I am about to

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:19.520
hopefully learn a little something about it now I do know about the original Nia

00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:24.359
the original Nia used your basically your brain waves facial expressions eye

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:30.000
movements all that kind of stuff to translate into game control or just

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:34.200
general PC control cameraman also want want me to mention we have NC lanyards

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:38.239
coming soon these are pretty sweet I actually already grabbed one for myself

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.840
here so I have switched over my old lanyard to the new NCIX lanyard so why

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

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:51.399
like they say pretty much what I already said so you can concentrate that uh turn

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:55.840
it into keyboard and mouse controls new levels of gaming not previously possible

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

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:05.960
can have a thought faster than you can have a thought and then press a button

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:32.159
approach this with an open mind because

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.920
you know what I've been surprised by stranger things being better than I

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

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:47.240
it's a white box which comes open somehow there we are oh that's actually

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:52.799
a pretty nice presentation look at that okay so there's a piece of paper inside

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:54.920
please read okay thank you for particip

00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:00.360
oh this is probably not for uh this is probably not for end users pre-release

00:01:57.880 --> 00:02:06.360
version of the so something something something updated biometric scan sweet

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

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

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:18.879
you a lot more details on this uh once I

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

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:27.640
have a look at the included stuff in the Box first we have the Mia unit

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

00:02:29.519 --> 00:02:36.040
but no big deal it has kind of um like a

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:38.680
curvy shape to it very Space Age looking

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

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

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

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:55.519
branding again little brushed aluminum box it's quite heavy actually so there's

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

00:02:58.959 --> 00:03:06.879
serial number the warranty is void if you remove that or that all right so

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:09.560
there's the Nia unit itself and here is

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

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

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.360
going to show you the other accessories first oh this is just a USB cable and

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

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.120
paper printed thing on it so I'm guessing the retail one will come with a

00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:33.480
proper CD oh this is cool this looks like little tentacles coming out of the

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

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:40.680
hold on there's got to be instructions or something here here here here okay

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

00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:51.120
if you are a beginner do this do

00:03:47.480 --> 00:03:54.959
that no nothing they actually do not

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.480
tell you how to put it on so it must be

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.000
really easy then it must just be a matter of just putting it on this thing

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

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

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:13.760
spongy feeling there's uh okay there's

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:17.639
two oh here here this may be like pre-release Hardware so might not be the

00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:20.320
actual fit and finish of it but basically there's a cord going in there

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:24.639
in fact I can pretty much guarantee that's not finalized fit and finish but

00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:29.400
hopefully it has all the functionality and then that ends in your little end

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:31.800
link there so that'll come out this way

00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:37.160
and then and here are the little uh pads that make contact with your head so

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:40.919
that's what reads your your brain waves and uh translates that into something

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:44.720
that your computer can understand and then yeah so why don't we go ahead and

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:49.080
put this on so it has to make direct contact with your skin in all likelihood

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

00:04:53.560 --> 00:05:00.199
apparently I have a larger head than anyone at ocz was expecting okay and it

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:04.199
goes on just like that and the cameraman's got a

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

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:16.440
you'll be trying the Nia next cameraman okay thank you for checking out my
