These are the latest "smart glasses" and they promise to turn your nose into a remote control
Using electrooculography sensors, Itchy Nose lets you reject a phone call, skip a song, or pause video through simple nosey tasks such as rubbing, flicking or pushing your [nose].
By aiming these sensors from the glasses at the nose, the glasses measure the "changing electric potential" as the wearer engages the several gestures.
The whole point is to make wearing tech a less-invasive interaction for those who are in social situations.
I can just imagine the hilarity that will ensue when I come down with a runny nose.

Surely this is just a "control" unless his nose is somehow not attached to his face or the glasses?
There are plenty of other ways to look stupid... why not a hat with various media buttons?
Huge thanks to all the Soylent volunteers without whom this community (and this post) would not be possible.
