An eye controlled music player: The real eye pod

If you thought the prospect of mind controlled gaming was too much information for your geeky little brain to take, prepare to absorb another futuristic wearable gadget. Although the man in the picture and his equipment look slightly deranged and a tad wacky, it's all for a very good reason. He's controlling his portable music player with his eyes - yes, with his eyes! The custom made headphones, with powerful microchips, have been designed by a Japanese researcher, who is also the one modelling the device. This is no joke my friends, this eccentric but *real* breakthrough in portable music players can really be controlled solely by rolling your eyes.

So precise, is this here invention that he can even turn up the volume by rolling his eyes up or down, and fast forward tracks with a couple of quick eye jerks to his right. It sounds like the perfect scapegoat for rolling your eyes at someone.

It's clearly in the early stages (it looks like it will do some permanent neck damage), but the future of wearable music players sounds and looks exciting doesn't it?
