A Player Controlled Black Myth: Wukong Using Only Brain Signals.
|
|
|
At WAIC 2026 in Shanghai, a live demo showed a player controlling Black Myth: Wukong with a non-invasive EEG brain-computer interface instead of a controller. The system uses Steady-State Visually Evoked Potentials, where the player focuses on flashing on-screen targets and the headset detects matching brain signals to trigger movement and attack commands. The reported calibration time is about five minutes, and the setup relies on sensors placed on the scalp rather than an implanted device.

|
📌 Non-invasive control makes this approach more practical for accessibility and hands-free computing than implanted systems.
|
|
⚡ It is still a controlled demonstration, not a replacement for conventional game controls.

💻 XAI · GROK 4.5 · CURSOR
|
|
Grok 4.5 Is Available Free in Cursor, With a 500K Context Window.
|
|
|
xAI's Grok 4.5 is currently available without an API key or credit card inside Cursor, including for users on Cursor's free plan. Enable it through the model picker or Settings → Models, then use its 500,000-token context window for large codebases and multi-step coding tasks. xAI reports scores of 83.3% on Terminal-Bench 2.1 and 64.7% on SWE-Bench Pro, while claiming the model uses around four times fewer output tokens than Claude Opus 4.8. The free offer is temporary and has no published end date.
|
|
⚡ Free access to a high-end coding model lowers the cost of experimenting with agentic development workflows.

MovieBox-TUI Lets You Browse and Stream From the Terminal.
|
|
MovieBox-TUI is an open-source Rust terminal interface for searching MovieBox's public catalog and launching results in an external video player such as MPV. It offers keyboard-first navigation, works across platforms, and avoids the need to open a browser. Install it with cargo install moviebox-tui.

📌 It is a neat example of the terminal becoming a complete personal workspace, not just a developer tool.

Humanoid Robots Are Already Sorting 1,200 Packages an Hour in Chinese Warehouses.
|
|
|
WAIC 2026 highlighted humanoid robots doing real logistics work, including sorting packages at a reported pace of 1,200 parcels per hour. China Post has deployed humanoid sorters at its Jianggao facility in Guangzhou, a hub that processes about 6.5 million parcels daily. The robots work alongside robotic arms and unmanned forklifts, using 3D vision to locate packages and fingertip force sensors that detect pressure as low as 3 grams. Reports also say similar systems are operating in more than 10 logistics centers across China.
