Crazy Japan: Mind-Controlled Nekomimi (Cat Ears)

Posted on May 6, 2011 by J Sensei

…Wow.

Straight from “Oh my GOD!” territory comes this story from Popular Science magazine, detailing nekomimi (lit. “cat ears”) that rise and flatten out on command from human brainwaves. A video is posted after the break.

Note: It’s nekomimi. neko = cat

Incidentally, the first thing I thought of was:

Tabane Shinonono, genius inventor and all-around flake of the series Infinite Stratos.

They alter to reflect her mood.

Japan. Bringing anime to real life. – J
