MyndPlay Press Release

MYNDPLAY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND AS YOU DETERMINE THE
OUTCOME OF THE MOVIES YOU WATCH


AT THE 7th ANNUAL TOPANGA FILM FESTIVAL

JULY 28-31st

The 7th Annual Topanga Film Festival (TFF) premieres MyndPlay, the world’s first mind controlled video and movie platform breakthrough technology that allows the viewer to control movies using nothing but their emotions and will.

“This new media platform is revolutionizing interactive film, education, mental sports training and video content by truly immersing the viewer into the plot, story line and the characters by allowing them to direct or influence the outcome just by mentally relaxing and focusing,” said Tre Azam, Founder and CEO of MyndPlay. “The viewer will choose who lives and dies, whether the bad guy or the good guy wins, or whether or not the golfer makes that all important putt.”

MyndPlay is an intricately designed multi-platform media player that is compatible with brain-computer interfaces. This cutting-edge software works together with the NeuroSky technology inside the MindWave and BrainBand Headsets to allow the viewer to control the outcome of a movie with the power of their mind. The technology further gives the user the ability to influence, interact with and direct the plot and outcome of a video or movie using only their minds (more specifically using brainwaves relative to relaxation and attention states). MyndPlay scans the mental states of the audience and adjusts the scene and outcome to fit the audience mood.

“The audience is literally brought into the movie plot as the will of the viewer determines plot twists and direction,” said LG Taylor, Director of Communications for the 7th Annual Topanga Film Festival. “The viewer can hold their nerve to dodge bullets on the screen, or the viewer can become a superhero just by focusing to save the world. We are thrilled to present the pioneering efforts of MyndPlay at this year’s Topanga Film Festival.” She continued.

This groundbreaking application allows story writers, directors and film production companies to create new genre of content, to engage and connect with the audience in an innovative way. The technology behind the software involves brainwave sensing, algorithmic mental state determination and screen control.

Come experience a fresh and innovative way of telling stories only at The 7th Annual Topanga Film Festival and learn just how potent the power of thought can be.
