Mind-Controlled Animal Tail Wags When You're Happy

September 25, 2012 / different strokes for different folks, do not need, get away from me with that, i don't get it, i see people wearing those fake animal tails all the time and i always think to myself 'please dont' talk to me please don't talk to me please don't talk to me', just because you can (usually means you shouldn't), mind-controlled, no thank you, plus you look ridiculous!, robotic, tail, that...seems necessary, wtf did i just watch?

From Neurowear, the same company that brought us the mind-controlled wiggling cat ears, comes a tail version called Shippo. A neuro sensor (hidden under a hat. Or worn without a hat so you look like some sort of government testing escapee) reads your mood, and the tail wags accordingly, then tags your mood to your location. Using an app, you can then search for places that made a lot of people happy. SPOILER: the bar.

The tail can recognize two moods: relaxed and concentrating. In relaxed mode, it moves "soft and slow" while in concentrating mode it moves "hard and fast," according to Neurowear. Happiness seems to drive the tail into a wagging frenzy, if the video is anything to judge by.

Hey, I don't need a robotic tail to wag when I'm happy -- my tail will already be wagging. Get it? Because I'll be booty-popping! OH HAAAAAIIIIIIII! *dropping it like a hot potato* "Wow GW, this might be an all-new low for you." Ha -- you just wait!

Hit the jump for a wack-ass video demo.

Thanks to LupusYonderboy, Van and roshan, who saw me dragging a toilet paper tail all day and didn't have the decency to say anything. I LOOKED LIKE A FOOL.

    Ladies?: Dress Colors Itself With Dripping Ink
    October 13, 2010
    The Pseudomorph dress is the brainchild of Dutch fashionista (damn yeah I use words like that!) Anouk Wipprecht. As the dress is worn, it colors itself with dripping ink. How exactly does it work? Well let me tell you copy/paste something. *ahem* Today was a sad night. I ... / Continue →

    Presumably to compliment his existing brass knuckles and tribal face tattoos, this is a shot of some dude who got his eyelids tattooed to look like they're always open. That's probably gonna make it hard for him to find a sleeping partner. Because I remember dating a girl in ... / Continue →

    Wow man this has got to stop, there is a reason we don't have radial ears and tails people (I don't know what it is) but theres no need to go and make robotic/bionic ones, just live with the reality that we look different from every other animal on the planet please and thank you, this has been a "life is not an anime" public service announcement.

  • Cole Paquette

    interesting. If they don't interfere with wearing the ears (like the sensor or something), I'll probably pick up one.
    Everyone who has seen the ears move has loved them.

  • Vincewind

    ...And I'll wear that thing in front of my dick.

  • That is so weird. It reminds me of the end of The League of Gentlemen film.

  • colin twigg

    Was that dude playing frisbee in the park by himself? :/

  • 2 years later in their relationship...

    "Remember how we met honey?"
    "Yeah you were playing frisbee in the park whe-... wait, why did your friends never come looking for you?"
    "Honey... I will not lie... I was totally not stalking you from the flower stand..."

    He was obviously playing with his owner, shame on him for not catching it with his teeth

  • *face palm*

  • I get a bone when I'm happy, maybe I could just put the sensor on my peen.

  • That would be interesting considering it would wag....

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    If you need a wagging tail for you to realize a guy has a boner I think there might be a bigger (or smaller) issue at hand.

  • I think you're on to something...
