Researchers Turn to Eyeballs to Control Devices
Researchers at NTT DoCoMo have developed a set of prototype in-ear headphones that can detect and measures changes in the body's electrical state that take place when your eyes move, and have harnessed this technology to control the music player on a mobile phone.

The new technology from Japanese mobile giant NTT DoCoMo may also enable cell phone cameras to read bar codes to get product information, download music and coupons when the user simply looks at the codes.
'We are working on a cell phone of the future,' Masaaki Fukumoto, executive research engineer at NTT said.
