OCZ Technology Group Enters Mass Production and Imminent Delivery of the Highly-Anticipated Neural Impulse Actuator



    OCZ Technology Group (LSE:OCZ), a worldwide leader in innovative,
    ultra-high performance and high reliability memory and components for
    enthusiasts and gamers, is pleased to announced the Neural Impulse
    Actuator (NIA) has begun mass production and launch into channel is
    imminent. A prototype was debuted last year at CeBIT 2007 which
    generated a newfound excitement in the global gaming community.

    Neural Impulse Actuator - The Future of Immersive Gaming

    OCZ saw an exciting opportunity to enhance the gaming experience
    and take PC gameplay to new heights. The NIA is not a replacement for
    a mouse but rather a pioneering new peripheral designed to provide an
    immersive experience for gamers. The NIA is the first commercially
    available BCI (brain-computer interface) specifically for PC gamers.

    "Advances in hardware and software allow today´s games to offer
    consumers an exceptional entertainment experience, and we wanted to
    take the next step by immersing gamers into these environments with
    the innovative new NIA," stated Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ
    Technology Group. "The NIA radically changes the ways that gamers can
    interact and control elements within games, and can be configured in a
    matter of minutes for any game that is already published or will be
    released."

    The commands are easily assigned with the NIA´s user-friendly
    software and are calibrated based on the individual´s physiology and
    personal preferences. Each of the Actuator´s signals can be assigned
    to a specific keystroke on the keyboard or a mouse button;
    consequentially, gamers can run, jump, and fire faster all without
    "lifting a finger." Because the NIA converts EEG
    (electroencephalograph) signals into specified keystrokes, the device
    can be used with any software. Upon proper configuration, the NIA will
    allow users to control PC games without the use of a keyboard and
    minimal use of a mouse.

    The final version of the NIA uses a sleek metal housing, a USB 2.0
    interface, and streamlined headband with carbon "dry" interface
    sensors. Due to the anticipation surrounding the release of the NIA,
    OCZ will be demoing the mass production device and begin accepting
    orders at the CeBIT 2008 in Hannover, Germany.
