If someone tries to patent that, you need only point them to Ren &
Stimpy "Space Madness" where Ren has a hose connected to his brain to
the console. The user control-interface seems to be based on grimaces
and insane cackling coupled to eyebrow waggle sequences. Imagine some
buffin on an airplane doing his final draft for a presentation to the
National Geographic Society. I guess he'd appear less crazy that someone
trying to use Unity to achieve the same goal. :) Ric
