Son Of Nor
A new trailer has surfaced for Stillalive's action-adventure game Son of Nor, which releases for PC, Mac, and Linux tomorrow. The video focuses on how the game leverages emerging technology like the Emotiv EPOC, Tobii Eye X, and Oculus Rift.
Son of Nor takes place in the fictional world of Noshras, in a vast desert where humans and reptilian beasts battle each other. With the Emotiv EPOC headset, which reads brainwave patterns, players can cast spells with their mind by visualizing the action in their head. The Emotiv EPOC can be used alongside the Tobii Eye X, a tracking tool that follows your gaze. For example, you can pick up and throw large boulders just by staring at them. In comparison, the Oculus Rift can only be used on its own, but creates more immersion for the player.
Watch the video below to see how these peripherals change the game experience.
Check out our past preview for the game to learn more about Son of Nor.
