All you need is an eyelid to play your favourite iPod tune...Yes, there's a new Japanese remote control that actually works with the blink of an eye.
What happens is, when the person winks, sensors clipped to him (via Headphones or glasses) detect the move and then generate a electric signal and uses them to play/stop/rewind/skip your iPod. Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Osaka University's Graduate School of Engineering Science, who developed the "KomeKami Switch" or "Temple Switch", said.
- When you wink Strongly for 1 second with one eye, it will rewind!
- Blink the other eye strongly to skip to the next song.
- Close both eyes to pause and play.
When asked if someone accidentally blinks, what will happen? will it malfunction or something?
"It doesn't happen at all. This system doesn't malfunction even if the user eats, talks, walks and runs," Taniguchi wrote, saying there were differences in movement between an accidental and an intentional blink or wink.
"The computer can judge the difference of those signals," he added -- even if other people around you may be left wondering what message your eyes are sending.
