If you're scouting the
strange, the weird and the
weirder, you'll find plenty to get absorbed in over at the research facilities of NTT DoCoMo. The Japanese giant is at it once more, but this time the invention is actually somewhat down to Earth. It's mission? To create a method for easily controlling a music interface (on a PMP or cellphone) with
just your eyes. By rolling one's eyes and jerking them from side to side, the outfit is hoping to have the corresponding music player change tracks and get louder / softer. If you're not exactly keen with freaking out fellow citizens on the street with completely erratic eye movements, you may also appreciate a similar technology it's working up which can detect a user's finger tapping to achieve to same goal. Of course, said technology would be halfway useless on the smash hit-packed
ZVUE Journey (no way you're bypassing any of those tracks, son), but we guess you could check out your toes every now and then to keep from constantly staying at 11.

This looks completely pratical and bully proof
Like my penis
*** rolls eyes ***
*** accidentally starts playing 'detachable penis' ***
Self esteem not included
This would be "the weirderer."
its a new design for a camera phone.
yes, i would wear that outside.
I can see everyone wearing this soon!...
Huh, this just kinda strikes me as a bad idea. You know when your running or biking and trying to do something simple like change a track and end up running into something.
Person A: How do you change the song?
Person B: You close your eyes for 5 seconds.
Person A: Mmkai.
Person A is riding their bike when they decide to change the song. They close their eyes and... boom asplode.
I couldn't keep a straight face while reading this article! The pictures look so unbelievably silly! No value, look above! D. :-)
This hands-free interface will be perfect for drivers and people on-the-go!
its kinda a month old

"Wait, wait, dont' tel me, don't tell me. You are from the Coast Guard Auxiliary and you want me to make a donation."
"Doc. I am from the future. I came here in a time machine you built. And I need your help to get me back to the year 1985."
"Do you know what this means? Do you know what this means? It *means* that this damn thing doesn't work at all!"
Back to the future reference FTW!
Wacky headgear with many wires protruding...Check
Crazy looking facial expressions...Check
Perfect recipe for getting stopped by the TSA going through the airport!
Its OVER 9,000!
Its OVER 9,000!

Haha! Wait no.
Wow, why so huge? Well I guess most beta hardware is large and unwieldy till they get the tech down...
I hate to be that guy, but... She totally said that.
This WILL be my new animated gif avatar.
"Don't give me that look young man! You will pay attention to me when I am talking to you!"
"But Mom I was just changing songs..."
"Don't you dare talk back to me! You wait until your Father gets home!"
"you may also appreciate a similar technology it's working up which can detect a user's finger tapping to achieve to same goal"
Tapping your fingers on something to control music? That's the most original idea ever! Amazing that they didn't invent such a thing decades ago.
Maybe they can call it a "button"
I guess all the pretty models are working in television ads?
For a second there I thought this was a torture device and that guy there was in excruciating pain.
Music interface made out of candy corn and waffles, nice.
Is this the latest Dr. Emit Brown Invention? GREAT SCOTT!!!
The first step toward real Cybermen, we're all doomed! Doomed I say!
this man looks very very uncomfortable
In that photo, that's not the prototype. That's the finished product.
And when wearing that contraption, along with those facial expressions, all the eye rolling, and maybe a bit of drooling for added effect, just think of how much compassion you could muster out of complete strangers on the street because they'd think you were "special".
Keep making those faces and your face will stay like that......
So...if I start checking out a hot piece of ass, will something appropriately sultry start playing?
The article was translated wrong. It's actually a remote mind control control device like the one Stewie used on Chris.
