People will shove a capacitive stylus up damn near anything nowadays.

Dude just needs a bowler hat and a cane, and he'll be all set for a bit of the ultraviolence.

That's a strap-on. This guy is looking for an excuse to wear a dildo on his face.

It's easy to scoff at this, but as someone who lost both my hands in a juicer accident five years ago I can very much appreciate its utility.

I was just thinking the same thing, Barrett - it looks like a joke but could actually be pretty useful

Would make more sense to use the iPhone's camera for eye tracking, and to do input that way. This is how "real" assistive input devices have worked for some time now.

Experienced users (ie. Dr. Hawking) can type quite quickly with it too.

I did send a tweet from the bath last night which was typed as ‘Hello I am tweeting with my nose’ unfortunately due to the phone’s
auto-correct it sent it as…

Hello I am meeting with my nose

I lost 2 followers.

This isn't a Chindōgu?

Well that's pretty fucking stupid and shows an unhealthy obsession with having to stay on an electronic device.

Somebody's nose needs a fucking good punching.

It's been weird seeing this guy being taken so seriously by mainstream media, given that he's is basically a conceptual artist/chindōgu practitioner.
