Star Wars Force Trainer II Hologram Experience

What does a fan of Star Wars want to do more than anything in the world? Use the Force, of course.

There is something in real life that provides a small dose of the Jedi capabilities in a toy that called the Force Trainer II Hologram Experience, which is basically a mind control headset.

This is a hologram monitor in the shape of a pyramid that lets the user play video games by analyzing the brain waves. The manufacturer worked with NeuroSky, a well-known builder of bio sensors.

This is the follow up to another toy from Uncle Milton based on the Force and it’s quite a respectable upgrade to it. The first Force Trainer only allowed users to levitate a ball inside a cylinder. Also, it came with a remote, so the toy wasn’t exactly capable of using mind control.

The tasks in Force Trainer II rely on great focus. The clearer the user’s mind is, the better he or she will perform in a task.

The toy features 10 Jedi challenges that have all been part of the movies. Players can battle with Darth Vader or try to run far away from a wampa. The user can also try to lift an X-Wing in the Dagobah swamp, just like the way Luke tries to in The Empire Strikes Back.

We tried the Force Trainer II and we can honestly say that despite the fact that it has a very simplistic design the game will most likely amuse a Star Wars fan.

Here is what I had to do. I had to use rubbing alcohol on my earlobe and forehead to clean them, and put a headset on. I had to clear my mind and try to focus on a very repetitive and simple thing. I concentrated on two items in my list of shopping and repeated them constantly.

And just after a few tries I was able to lift up the X-Wing that Luke Skywalker failed to do so in the swamp.

Because the system relies on an app to function and because the app can be updated, we’re sure we will see more games inside it in the future. Also, the system works with an iPad, Amazon or Samsung tablet which means that there could be more games that will use the headset.

The new Force Trainer II will arrive in fall 2015 and costs about $120.
