It is a remarkable device, at first glance it looks like a large hearing aid or a headset for your cell phone, but it is a small personal computer that Kazuhiro Taniguchi has evolved from the Hiroshima City University with his team.

It can be able to connect to a mobile device; the operation can be controlled with the facial expressions or mouth, for example, on the movements of the tongue or raising an eyebrow. Apparently corresponding sensors can detect muscle movements and act accordingly to the command. The hands of the user need not require navigating in any case for the operation of the system, for example, when climbing or on a motorbike could use and should also be suitable for people with disabilities, the makers advertise their prototypes.
It is similar to Google Glass in which a small computer an attempt as close as possible to the human body and make it portable accessories. The ear clip computer can also check the health of the user who carries it. It is suitable to use as a hearing aid and can monitor the body functions of the user, such as tracking the pulse or body temperature and record how often the user eats something or sneeze.
Even if the user crashes, the device should be able to find the same and can possibly call an ambulance or notify relatives, the makers promise. The bulky working title for the device currently reads “Earclip -type Wearable PC”, a portable personal computer which is like an ear clip.
