You guys… this is just an example site for a web design company. The lolpipop is not a real product… just something to show what a real site using this design would look like.

If y’all thought this was a real product, there really is a sucker born every minute!

I get the impression that one would need to first program one’s brain in order for this *ahem* concept to work.. From the “how it works” page on the website it seams to be saying that your brain will decode the information sent by the device, which is done through stimulating your tongue, and will allow you to see images directly in your brain.

For an image to be seen I believe that you would first need to associate the stimulus with the image which could be done through a program included with the lollypop style usb device. One would connect the device to a computer running the software and spend what would likely be several hours programing or imprinting one’s mind with relaxing imagery (for the relax flavor) which would be associated to different stimulus through the usb device.

Eventually one could perceivably expect that the stimulus alone would be able to bring up a remembered image within one’s mind.

That being said there would be no reason to have different flavors of usb devices, just different programs for imprinting one’s mind and some sort of selection device for choosing the stimulus to be delivered once the appropriate associations are possible.

An interesting concept which has merit but I like other posters do not believe that this is an actual product that currently exists (just check the website which suggests emailing the creators in order to place oneself on a wait-list for when the product is available. My guess, not anytime soon.)

[...] WordPress.org Lick Your Way to a Better Day October 8, 2008, 5:45 am Filed under: NONSENSE | Tags: Candy, Eye Candy, Technology Have you ever imagined that you could lick on a lollipop and change the way you think? I am not talking about some illegal hallucinogenic drug, but a legal way to changing how you think or do things. Eye Candy can. Even though the concept sounds like something from the “Electric Kool-aid Acid Test”, Eye Candy uses a Sensory Substitution Technology to naturally send vibrant, emotive images to your mind. Through the use of resonators located on the candy, information is transmitted from the tongue to the brain allowing for the mind to see the images contained in Eye Candy. Eye Candy is available in 6 flavors: Relax, Socialize, Assert, Meditate, Confront and Focus. - via Yanko Design [...]

how does it work? how can a device control how you feel just by licking it? if it works. how much of your feeling can you really control? let say if just lost an arm can it help me think other that it was a good thing to loose an arm or can it heal a broken heart? if so man you made a great product that can help millions to escape reality.
