A wink, a smile or a raised eyebrow could soon change the music on your iPod or start up the washing machine, thanks to a new Japanese gadget.
The gizmo – called the “Mimi Switch” or “Ear Switch” – looks like a normal set of headphones, but is fitted with a set of infrared sensors that measure tiny movements inside the ear that result from different facial expressions.
The device is connected to a micro-computer that can control electronic devices, essentially making it a hands-free remote control for anything.
“An iPod can start or stop music when the wearer sticks his tongue out, like in the famous Einstein picture. If he opens his eyes wide, the machine skips to the next tune. A wink with the right eye makes it go back,” he explained.

The iCarta iPod Toilet Roll is an interesting home gadget, which allows you to listen to music when in the bathroom. You would no longer have to listen to the steady drone of water filling your tub while you lay bored and pensive. Moreover, it would certainly be entertaining to listen to your favorite track while enjoying a soothing and calming bath.
The iCarta iPod Toilet Roll could also be used while engaging other tasks in the bathroom, which I leave to your fertile imagination. The device comes with 4 moisture free speakers that are integrated into the device and the resulting quality is clear and flawless.
It even charges your iPod while you play music and it’s Audio Selector allows you to change tracks on iPod shuffle and other audio devices. The device could be mounted on a wall and requires AC power. The device is designed intuitively and the bath tissue holder can be folded to work like a stereo dock. The icarta iPod Toilet Roll costs $59.95.
