Thinker Things Monster Dreamer will be the first machine to create real objects from thought alone.
Sounds like science fiction, but the technology we need to make objects from thought is already available, according to
Example of a toy that could be created by the Monster Dreamer
All that is missing is creative software that will link these technologies together. Their initial work has convinced the group this is possible and we now need your help to complete the project.
Their first “Objects from Thought” machine, “The Monster Dreamer”, will allow you to produce your own Monster Toy using just your mind. On completion of the machine Thinker Things will be touring the regional schools of Chile to allow Chilean school children to be the first in the world to create objects with just their thoughts.
They are offering as rewards these very first thought toys. The money raised will allow them to develop the software and buy the hardware needed to build the Monster Dreamer.
Another project by the Thinker Thing Group is the Thought Puppet. Albert Gubbins, Victorian scientist, will star as our first Thought Puppet, a mind toy that allows you to control a 3d model with your thoughts. With your mind, you can change Alberts expressions, make him frown, smile, blink and wink, you can also pull and push Albert and make him disappear just by thinking. Albert will be available on the Emotive Mind Store January 2013.
