Ok so our eyes are electric (i didn't know that before :huh: ), the eye is positive at the cornea and negative at the retina. As the eyes move, the potential around it changes, and these changes can be used to control things, and NTT Docomo is using this to allow us control our MP3 players. The "Eye-Controlled Earphones" have electrodes outside of the buds. Which are called EOG (electroculograms), they detect tiny difference in the electrical potential of the eyes as they move.



To play/pause the track, you look left then right. To skip, look either left or right twice in succession, returning to the center each time. And for volume, you rotate your gaze clockwise or counterclockwise.

I have no idea how much practical these are going to be.

"This truly awesome stop-motion animation was created by a 17-year-old boy named Jamie Bell, who goes by “DispleasedEskimo” on YouTube. He created it, for an art class, over the span of only three weeks, using about 2100 sheets of paper and a number of ballpoint pens. Set to the Galop from Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld — a piece of music better known for its association with can-can dancing — the video displays a very funny history of life on Earth, with a few extraterrestrial bits."
