Overview: Airheads is a 1-3 player game that demonstrates the NeuroSky hardware, and was one of the first games built for the Neurosky mindkit. Players control their character by relaxing. The more relaxed they are, the faster their character will ascend. The concept behind Airheads was to make something that was mass-playable, and as such there are no controls other than using the headset. In 2008 Airheads demoed at the Interactive festival at South by South West in Texas. Then later in the year it was showcased as an example of cutting edge engagement at the Ogilvy Digital Souk. Having moved on to bigger and better games, Airheads now lives in a box of shame, far away from society.
Airheads Got a mention on the Gadget Show back in 2008, check it here:
