A LETTER FROM DAN HOLDSWORTH

A while ago a company called Necomimi combined some sort of transcutaneous sensor with a few other things to create these apparently thought-controlled cat ears:

Now they've taken the same idea and linked it to a tail, plus a smart-phone geo-tagging system of some description:

Personally I can't watch either without laughing out loud; both look utterly silly, but a nice way to lighten an afternoon.

The thought also occurs that a certain Barry Tadcaster's act might be greatly improved were he to wear these whilst on stage...
