Control your iPod with your eyelids

eyelidpod

A Japanese researcher has developed a new method to control the iPod.

It uses your eyelids.

Sensors clipped to a pair of glasses or headphone detect movement in the user’s eyelids. Different movements trigger different iPod functions. Close one eye and blink the other to skip songs. Close both eyes to pause the song. Etc etc.

Apparently the system can differentiate between accidental and purposeful blinks.

It’s pretty safe to say this won’t make it out of the testing labs.

Yeah, we’ve reached the end of history.

Of course it won’t. I’ve documented that the iPhone2 uses mental telepathy, so why the hell are people working on already obsolete technology? Blink Differently vs. Think Differently? Fail…
