A prototype device created from Japanese mobile phone operators, enabling users to call and receive calls, and even play music on your phone just by moving the eyes.
NTT DoCoMo, the company that developed the device, there is a special electrode attached to a set of earphones. This electrode serves to catch the eye movement.
"His eyes kept potential electrical current, ie positive currents in the cornea, and a negative flow on the retina. Changes the potential of this current depends on the movement of the eyeball. This system worked, even though the user's eyes when closed," the spokesman said NTT DoCoMo, such as quoted from the Telegraph, Wednesday (17/2/2010).
Electrode earphones can read the changes in electrical currents are called electrooculogram, and phone NTT DoCoMo created is designed to translate that information and turn it into a form of command. By way of such work, users can call or receive calls simply by moving their eyes to the left and right.
Similarly, playing music. Music files stored in the phone can be played or terminated using eye movements. In his presentation at the event Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, a spokesman for NTT DoCoMo's practice this way of working devices. As the ball moves to the right eye, the music player will play the previous song. When the ball moves to the right eye repeatedly, the phone will jump to the next song. Meanwhile, the volume can be amplified or diminished by moving his eyes up and down.
Might be a little funny, weird or even suspicious, when he saw someone move their eyes to operate their phones. NTT DoCoMo said, the system is just an example, but enough to give a view of the possibility of such phones can be used in the next few years.
"In the future gadgets may only be operated with body movements, including eye movement," the spokesman asserted.
