Real World - Virtual world ?

HI, this is a serious thread, no jokes and abusive posts please ;)

We communicate with the machines like a PC with controll-devices like mouse and keyboard.

And now we get to the point.
If someone could create a "device" thats connects the whole mind of a person to the machine and then to the software.

Wouldn't it be great?

I mean, then something like Matrix could happen and other things of Animes!

You will think, wtf? etc. now. But these are just dreams of mine.
I wouldn't be able to contribute anything to it, since i am not intelligent enough :(((

This would be so good, i could flee from this reality and put my mind in another reality where i am another person :)

I think this would benifit everyone on the earth.

Actually are there some projects like this now?
Ok, this is unrealistic, since we couldn't even create devices that work by our cogitations....

>>2 here. While I still think the OP is dumb, this is still an interesting topic, so I'll contribute.

Anyway, people have been trying to do this sort of stuff for many decades, and science fiction writers have been writing about brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) since the beginning of the 20th century. There's an entire field dedicated to it (neuroengineering). The reason we don't have Matrix-like cognitive interfaces yet is because the brain is really, really fucking complicated.

>this is unrealistic, since we couldn't even create devices that work by our cogitations....

Wrong. There have been several implants that have already been designed that allow cognitive control of electronic systems, such as one that allows quadriplegics to control a mouse cursor by thought. Based on the journals I've read, the problem of designing BCIs is one of engineering, not of overcoming the barriers of physics.
