Control music with your eyes
BARCELONA--Some devices have to be seen to be believed. So check out this video taking at the NTT Docomo booth before reading on.
That's right. This earphone detects eye movement and uses it to control music playback as well as volume levels. How this works is that the earpieces are actually electrodes. As the eye shifts position, the electrical potential between them changes. This signal is captured and converted into instructions for a compatible mobile phone. The system works even when the eyes are closed.
Is it safe to use it while driving? Definitely no. And it's probably not a good idea to wear this while watching a tennis match, either.
