Eye-controlled interface from NTT DoCoMo advances to next stage

Last year, NTT DoCoMo showed a prototype gadget that controlled music with the user’s eyes. This year at the CEATEC although the concept remains the same, the massive headphone-like tracker has been transformed into a small earbud. The earbuds integrate sensors that track the movement of the eyeballs and execute commands like increasing/decreasing volume, skip backward/forward music by the electric current generated by the eyeballs.

NTT DoCoMo is yet to confirm any use of the tech in today’s commercial products but the evolution is in the right direction.
