Eyeglass store chain Jins released Wednesday a device designed to allow users to operate a personal computer through small head movements.
Attached to glasses and connected to a computer via a cable, the device, called "Jins Assist," enables users to click and move the cursor with their heads, helping people with hand or arm disabilities to use computers.
Users equipped with the device can activate the cursor by nodding and click the right mouse button by turning their heads to the right, while allowing inputs by keyboard. Weighing only 4 grams and as large as a thumb, it is light enough to reduce fatigue after long use. Since it is wired, no recharging is required.
The device costs ¥15,000 per unit and is available at online stores.
