Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
a head-mounted display that renders an augmented reality environment that is experienced by a user when worn on the head of the user, the augmented reality environment containing at least one computer-generated element superimposed on a user's view of the real world, the at least one computer-generated element being generated by a software program;
a motion sensor coupled to the head-mounted display, the motion sensor utilizing an accelerometer to sense a movement of the head of the user relative to the augmented reality environment and generating position signals corresponding to the movement of the user's head;
a biofeedback sensor coupled to the scalp of the user, the biofeedback sensor continuously measuring electrical activity in the brain of the user when the user experiences the augmented reality environment, the biofeedback sensor generating changing electrical signals corresponding to changing electrical activity in the brain of the user when the brain of the user experiences a change in the at least one computer-generated element in the augment reality environment, wherein the user reacts to the change in the computer-generated element by thinking about modifying the computer-generated element in the augmented reality environment;
an analog-to-digital converter that receives the changing electrical signals from the biofeedback sensor corresponding to the changing electrical activity, the analog-to-digital converter converting the changing electrical signals to digital signals;
a computer that executes the software program, the computer receiving the digital signals from the analog-to-digital converter and the position signals from the motion sensor, the software program using a feedback algorithm to learn how the received signals relate to intentions of the user, interpreting the digital signals and the position signals based on the learned intentions, and rendering a modified element in the augmented reality environment that is experienced by the user through the head-mounted display; and
a battery that provides power to at least one of the head-mounted display, the analog-to-digital converter and the computer.
