Electrical Head Actuation (CHI22 talk) #WearableWednesday
This wearable will literally point you in the right direction. Small electrical signals manipulate the movement of the head. From a researchers out of the University of Chicago under the YouTube Channel HCintegration. More from Gizmodo:
Researchers from the University of Chicago’s Computer Science Department’s Human Computer Integration Lab propose a radically different idea. Remember that scene in Jurassic Park where Sam Neill’s Alan Grant has to physically turn the head of Laura Dern’s distracted Ellie Sattler to get her to see a towering brachiosaurus walking by? If you replaced Alan Grant’s hand with probes that electrically stimulated Ellie Sattler’s neck muscles to force her head to automatically turn to the left, then you more or less understand what these researchers are proposing.
