Eye-controlled earphones: wink to shuffle

Eye-controlled earphones? Oh yes. We heard Toshiba was cooking up some brain wave monitoring cans, but we actually saw these ones, which can be controlled using mere eye movements, on the show floor at Mobile World Congress this week. Read on to see the video!

NTT Docomo’s eye-controlled earphones use electrodes to determine the charge between your cornea and retina, so can tell when you move your eyes in a certain direction. The company’s rigged the eye-controlled earphones on show to skip tracks, pause and play and even adjust volume just with movements from left to right or up and down, and it works even when your eyes are shut.
