Utilizing infrared sensors to measure contortion in your pinna canals , the ‘ Ear Switch ‘ earbuds can guess at your facial expressions , letting you command your convenience — iPod , cellphones , whatever — with what pretty much amount to feigned capture .
Inventor Kazuhiro Taniguchi is pretty stoked about the applied science , but seems unable to add up up with applications that are n’t completely hilarious . For example , he tells Physorg :
You will be able to turn on room light or swing out your washing simple machine into activity with a quick twitch of your mouth … An iPod can start or stop euphony when the wearer stay his glossa out , like in the renowned Einstein characterisation . If he opens his eyes widely , the machine skip to the next tune . A wink with the correct eye makes it go back .
In other words , skip more than a caterpillar track or two will be operose , unless you have epilepsy . Anyway , Apple , please keep me entertained on the bus for the next five years — include this as received with all iPods , stat . [ Physorg ]
