Necomimi brain-activated cat ears hit the U.S.

Jeebus! All that power to wiggle some fuzzie cat ears? Nothing a bit MORE PRACTICAL??

I assume this googah was invented to prove the tech rather than amuse dorks with more money than sense. Or perhaps I'm overly optimistic.

How does one observe something like this and judge it on merits such as being practical? That is like saying the Mona Lisa was a time consuming method to color a canvas or saying Michelangelo was the wrong contractor to apply paint to the Sistine chapel because others could have painted it all one color for less money.

Those ears or something like them could be used to show when it is safe to interrupt somebody without disrupting his chain of thought.

As much as a waste of time you find the cat ears to be, don't you think it really is amazing? Brain control in a TOY?!

What will your kids be playing with if we can do this sort of thing?

There has already been a brain controlled skateboard, and now brain controlled ears.

It means the technology has been figured out and is now cheap to produce Next the controller will just get smaller and smaller.

I actually saw these Memorial Day weekend, at Fanime, in San Jose California. So, Comicon will not actually be the first time they're available in the United States.

I agree, they are a silly waste of tech, money, and power, BUT imagine a Texas Hold'em tournament where they are required for all players! That would be better than cheerleaders! LOL!

Well... personally I'd rather have the doughnut she was eating! Interesting technology, strange application of it.
