Hehe... this is funny, and please don't take it serious. The folks at Kajimoto Lab

have a great job. They have to think outside of the box - WAY outside the box, and design the strangest things. Just have a look at the link for Kajimoto ... their inventions are out of this world.

One of them is a new way of guiding someone using for example a GPS. Anyone of you who have a GPS on a motorcycle will know that despite that the device is a blessing for navigating, it can also be dangerous. You either need to take you eyes of the road to see what the screen is telling you to do, or you need to follow "the voice", even when your attention is required elsewhere.

Kajimoto Lab

have a different solution. They propose to pull you ears (not your legs). So when you need to turn left, the device pulls your left ear, right ear for turning right.. And why not... it works for horses doesn't it?

Somehow I do not think Garmin or TomTom will pick up on the idea, but they get an A+ for the thinking process....
