NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese wireless carrier, is working on what they call the “cell phone of the future“. So far they have one prototype that looks like a freaky pair of headphones with wires and doo-dads popping out everywhere. Inside it’s packed full of sensors and chips that track the electrical current produced by brain when the wearer moves their eye.

In a demonstration the did for the Associated Press, the device was able to make lines on a computer monitor dance around when the wearer moved their eyes. The wearer was also able to turn the volume up on a music player and make it skip the track forward.

It’s still too early to tell if this technology will ever make to the market or how it will be used.
