Eye Activated Device Controller Goes Mobile

NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese mobile phone operator, is experimenting with a new method of controlling mobile devices without using one’s hands. The system currently controls a mobile music player by sensing the electric fields eyes make when they move, similarly to how an EEG monitors the brain. To skip to the next track, the user looks right twice with his eyes; to raise volume simply roll your eyes up. This is all well and good, but we can speculate about a future world where everyone dials their phones by making facial gestures and then talks using a Bluetooth headset, a sight that in the past could only have been witnessed in mental wards.
