More utilitarian use for the same tech, imagine if young children, those with speech difficulties etc. could be given something that lights up to indicate their thoughts and moods. Next stage would be making something that allowed easy control of a computer.
[Also loved the little moment where her ears perked up when she checked the guy out]
They’d be more awesome if they were more accurate to real cat body language (hint: if a cat’s ears go all the way down like that, do not pet it; it’s angry, not relaxed), but if that’s the most obvious objection they certainly still belong on the list.
I can forgive that, since cats express fairly complicated emotions with their body language which are probably beyond the current capability of miniaturized brain scanners. It seems, and I didn’t bother to translate any of the Japanese website or anything, like that thing just measures general electrical activity levels.
I think I saw a pair at ACEN about a week ago. I just thought they were moving at random at the time… I wonder if they’ll make an expressive hair wig or appropriately billowing cape in the future.
Those catgirl ears are awesome.

Dibs on the appropriately billowing cape.
I want a tail.
There are people who don’t?
Now available: brainwave controlled tails.
