Eye-Controlled Mobile Phone Prototype Released: The credit goes to DoCoMo

Posted by Ali on Wednesday, 17 February, 2010

You might not believe this but its true that a Japanese based mobile company is successful in interfacing mobile phone with the movement of eyes, Yes i am right and the theory behind this technology is quite simple that special kind of electrodes are used in earphones that are capable of picking the movements of eyes. Eyes have “electrical potential”, Positive at the cornea and negative at the retina, now whenever you move your eyes this electrical potential changes depending upon the movement of eyeballs and the system also works even when eyes are closed.
The electrodes in the earphones have the capacity to collect those changing currents known as an electrooculogram and the mobile can be programmed to translate those signals into different types of commands for example if a user wants to receive a call he just has to move his eyes to right, then to the left and back to the right again.
similarly other movements allow you to do certain functions like playing songs, change tracks, increase or decrease volume etc.

The company DoCoMo says that this is just a prototype and in future we want to interface more human gestures to different technologies.
This technology will pave the way for other interesting and clever inventions and may change the way we use modern technologies.


Mind Controller Device is Finally Releasing, Get Ready for the FUN

Posted by Ali on Saturday, 26 December, 2009

The concept of controlling things from mind is not old as you might have seen movies in which magicians use the waves of their mind to control their opponents but the scientists of 21st century dose not believe in magic, they want to do it practically and for that Emotive Systems have developed a device called as Brain wave controller that can be interfaced with computer to send certain commands and signals.

The Epoc headset brainwave controller uses EEG (Electroencephalography) to communicate with the brain and  has been in development for a long time and now its developers are satisfied enough to release it to the general public.

In the experimental phase it was designed to accept the signals from the brain and fed them to the computer to show what is going on, but now the device can be interfaced with very limited games and applications.

Researchers who have been working  on this project are trying very hard to incorporate Brainwave controller in our daily lives as it will become very handy for the infants, elder ones and will open new doors of research in brain science.

The starting price of this high end device is set to be $300 only.
