Sleep Buster: Japanese Company Develops Anti-Sleep Driver Seat Sheet

juki featThere are quite a few systems and gadgets on the market already that prevent people from falling asleep whilst driving, but Japan-based Juki has developed an entirely new one: a sheet [JP, PDF] that can be mounted on the driver's seat and triggers an alarm when you're about to doze off.The way the so-called Sleep Buster works is that it measures signals from the heart and aorta through a built-in sensor. A piece of software called "Human Tachometer" then visualizes the condition of the driver on a controller: apart from fatigue or drowsiness, users can also check their level of concentration or how distracted they are, for example.
