Very interesting... just imagine: coding without having to do the typing. Navigating around the IDE without ever having to know a single hotkey. Looking things up on the web by providing no more than a vague thought instead of a query. The possibilities are literally endless. It's good to see that people are working on this topic, but I think it's still a thing of the future, I don't expect any major adoption any time soon.

What an incredible time to be alive, that one curious & intelligent person can buy these tools and make actual, working software controlled only by the brain. The 3D-controlled landscape was the high point for me. Thanks for sharing your work & research!

I think a hybrid approach would be really interesting, I've used VR sculpting/art tools that would flow a lot better with these extra controls. Like having an extra hand or two for mode selection or whatever, to complement the excellent spatial control/awareness we already have in our hands. And the form factor would make sense, since you're already strapping things to your head.
