Aiming very precisely is probably a bit trickier. A lot will probably depend more as much on how adept people can become at using the headsets, as on how sensitive they are. Martin: Good point. Psychiatric applications are the clear winner, but I don't doubt some clever physicians will figure out how to use these for physical rehabilitation, too.

It may be quite a trick to learn how to activate the device without muscular movement, but for someone with a serious condition, surmounting that obstacle would be well worth the effort.

When playing a FPS you need to ability to run around, switch or reload weapons, aim and shoot at the same time.
