Gadgets that brain read, for the physically challenged

eye-controlled_gadgets_1.jpg The NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese electronics company is working on some really weird stuff, including music players you control with your eyes, cell phones that require your fingers for more than just dialing and remote control like wristwatches, which could prove a boon for the physically challenged. In its present form, the digital music player is a set of headphones that performs various functions like adjusting the volume by rolling your eyes, or fast forwarding the track by jerking the eyes etc. The mobile phone is wearable on the finger like a ring and shaped like a small ball.

When a wearer touches his fingers in his ears, the sound travels as vibrations through his bones and into his ears, where it is heard as sound again. And the wristwatch can interpret taps between the thumb and forefinger as remote control commands, and works for such gadgets as a DVD player.
