All Ipod User Alert!!

I was looking around on the net for news this morning.i came across this article about these cool product that makes your smiles,winks or raising your eyebrows change the music on your iPod.The small device is something like a headphone and is attached to a kind of infrared sensor that measures tiny actions inside the ear that are cause by different type of facial expressions. The English term for it is "Mimi Switch" or "Ear Switch".These things are connected to a micro-computer that can take charge and control of electronic devices.Its like a remote control (No hands) thing for everything.You can turn on the washing machine and room lights in a quick twitch of your jaws.The inventor is Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Osaka University.Can google it too if you want to know more.If you are wearing the product you can just stick your tongue out to stop and start your Ipod.Open your eyes Widely the Ipod will skip to the next tune.Try Winking your right eye to make it go back.Other actions can be programmed in to the Ipod can be like wriggling your nose and also a smile.That is kind of hilarious.I can't imagine everyone on the train is wearing that device when they go to work.We will see a lot of Funny faces=x.

The device can also track your natural movements like your face in everyday life and judge whether you are smiling enough for the day a not before deciding what songs to play for you.It can be a cheerful song or a sad song=X.The device can also track elderly people whether they are often sneezing or eating regularly and send a warning message to relatives too.

It will serve well for physically disabled as a remote control to switch on appliances and alert medical services whether the person has a fit.

They are working on a wireless version now.I wonder when this type of device will come to Singapore.Someday no body needs to move at all already.

They can create a sensor that sense sign language attached to every where.All you need to do is to point.Its going to be cool=)
