			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/08/eartugger3.jpg" alt="" class="left" />I used to be excited about <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/03/iphones_first_turnbyturn_navigation_app_reviewed_outstanding_not_perfect-2/">iPhone turn-by-turn navigation</a>, but the Pull-Navi system (straight from Tokyo University of Electro-Communications&#8217; crazy folks) is way better. It comes with a stylish helmet <i>and</i> will yank on ears until they look like Dumbo&#8217;s.<span id="more-343710"></span></p>
<p>For those that just can&#8217;t be bothered to glance at a map or screen in order to figure out where to walk, Pull-Navi is perfect because it takes advantage of reflex:</p>
<blockquote><p> The ear navigator, called Pull-Navi, has six helmet-mounted motors to pull the wearer&#8217;s ears forward, backward, left, right, up and down. The designers say people follow its lead almost instinctively &#8211; pull left and they turn that way; pulling both ears forward or backward at the same time makes them speed up or slow down; and tugging up or down heads them up or down stairs.</p>
</blockquote>
<p> Does this vaguely remind anyone else of how horses are guided? [<a href="http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20090803a3.html">Japan Times</a>]</p>
