Japanese Ear Twitch PC
Have you heard of Google Glasses? Well Japanese researchers have come up with another type of wearable computer. This one fits on to your ear like a Bluetooth head set. I remember when Bluetooth ear pieces first came out. I was working at a gas station and people would come in to the store talking on them out of the blue, no pun intended. It made them look crazy as if they were talking to themselves. Well this Linux powered ear PC can make you look even more crazy because you have to control it by making face expressions. Some of the face expressions the devices IR sensors can understand include eyebrow movement and tongue positions such as clicking your tongue or sticking it out. All this is understood by sensing muscle movement near the ears. The face movements were chosen over hand movements because it allows hands free operation so working individuals or people with disability are able to use it. The device will connect to other mobile devices much like the new android watches are able to connect to your phone. It is reported that the ear PC should be ready near the end of the year 2015.
