IPod becomes EYEPod

Japanese has invented a new IPod which can remote control its work by the blink of eye. Taniguchi of Osaka University has inverted this IPod. When a user winks, movement in their skin is detected by sensors clipped to their glasses or headphones. This signal is sensed by the infra red sensors and it is converted to electric signal. This signal is used by the micro computer of the IPod.


The Different ways of the working of this IPod is very interesting.

We have to wink strongly for one second with one Eye to rewind.

A wink with the right eye makes the machine skip to the next tune while with a wink of the left eye it goes back.

Closing both eyes for one second starts an IPod, while blinking again stops the machine.

The system can easily differentiate a deliberate one-second wink from natural blinking. There are some people who are incapable of winking on one eye. For those, we can program the system to give a command when they blink twice in a fast sequence. So Ipod becomes EYEPod.

Come on people start blinking your eyes to hear a song!!!!
