Tokyo - A student at Japan's Osaka University Graduate School of Engineering Science has developed a remote control that uses infrared sensors to monitor eye winks and control the functions of an Apple (NASD: AAPL) iPod, Reuters reported. Kazuhiro Taniguchi says that his "KomeKami Switch" or "Temple Switch" can judge the difference between accidental and intentional winks, even if a user "eats, talks, walks and runs."
