Falling asleep on the subway is great, sure. However, missing your stop is not so great. A hacker named Pyocotan has built a Noriko-San sleeping mask for fashion-forward commuters. The mask alerts other passengers of your stop by way of that loud exterior LED display. Then they can decide whether you are worth waking up or not.
