An idea in the wearable technology<\/strong> field born of two Japanese inventors, Hiroaki Tobita<\/a> and Takuya Kuzi, of the Sony Computer Science Laboratories. It’s a SmartWig. The two engineers have developed a distinctive headdress with a dual functionality<\/strong>. While it’s able to hide any baldness, its also and above all has a camera, a navigation system and sensors that monitor the physiological values\u200b\u200b.<\/p>\n

The wig is able to communicate wirelessly<\/strong> with a mobile device and it’s equipped with camera, a laser pointer and a GPS sensor; a real surveillance system<\/strong> to put in the head. From a long time the \u201cbig names\u201d of the technology are searching for as much as wearable devices; just think to spy glasses<\/a>, spy necklaces<\/a> and watches equipped with tiny camera<\/a> and bracelets with GPS sensors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hidden GPS Sensor in Hair Wig<\/h2>\n

The first SmartWig model serves as a navigation system thanks to a GPS sensor. The gadget indicates the path through the micro-vibrations<\/strong> in the concerned part of the skull: a little shake on the right side indicates the direction to the right, for example. In this sense, the tool could also be useful to blind people<\/strong> so that they would receive directions while walking.<\/p>\n

The second model, however, is equipped with a laser pointer and can slide your PowerPoint simply by orienting the head from one side to another. Finally, the third prototype of the smart-wig: replace the thermometers and pressure gauges<\/strong>, and with a simple click, it monitors brain waves, stores sounds and images files and if necessary, the wearer can recover them.<\/p>\n

Great application might have in the surveillance and security field<\/strong>. No one would notice a system hidden under the hair. We don’t known if the wig will never be launched. The SmartWig could be a real revolution in the wearable technologies area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
