Facial Controls- Mimi Switch

So I’ve said before that Japan produces crazy gadgets, well get a load on this:  Kazuhiro Taniguchi of Osaka Universty is onto creating an invention, called the Mimi Switch, that will allow a person to make a certain facial to control the earbuds of any MP3 player. An example would be: if you wanted to change the song on your iPod, you would stick your tongue out. Imagine this invention being used world wide? You’d see people with their MP3 players walking down the street, constantly smiling, winking, sticking their tongue out and making absurd expressions we’d find weird. Though this idea is being worked on, there is no word on the Mimi Switch being released on the market or to the public.
