Yes, I remember Strange Days and yes, Emotive's head piece does, in a mental sense, qualifies as a haptic device to drive video games as Emotive seems to have capped on IBM's brain research back in the early 2000's to make a device that can pick up, I think, alpha and theta waves and direct them into running or affecting how a video game plays. (Brain researchers are learning about brain functions using MRI and CATs scans as weapons of choice - perhaps Emotiv is doing this as well.).
This gear also remind of the old Star Trek episode where Spock loses his brain and McKoy has to reattach it using a helmit vastly bigger and more cumbersome than this model to enhance his intelligece to do the job but said episode happened in 1968, not 2007 so solemn respect must be given when the numbers of computers in the world at that time numbered in the thousands, contained massive iron cores for memory and occuped large air conditioned rooms resembling the one seen in 2001.

Hate mispellings and bad grammer but being a bad typist leads me into trouble.
