Remote Control via Eye Blinking - Kome Kami Switch
Oh Nippon! Will you ever seize to amaze. This reminds me of a similar bio-tech device by Docomo a few years ago. The 'bone-phone' is worn as a watch and sends vibrations through your bones, thus conducting sound. To hear the conversation, you had to stick your finger in your ear for the vibrations to connect. You can read more about it at http://issmatblog.wordpress.com/?s=bone+phone. For this blink-remote, I like the prospect of using it for touchless mp3 navigation. When you live in Canada in the winter time, it gets a little tough to operate mp3 players with thick gloves on.

Matchbook Sized Nano Projector - For Your Cell Phone, Laptop or iPod
I want it now! I hope the OEMs can quickly compact this so that handheld companies can begin to embed the technology right into a cellphone or PDA device. I just hope they don't price it outside the reach of us common joes.
