Technology companies are increasingly rushing to register new patents related to wearable devices, some of which arouse interest and curiosity.
After Motorola filed a patent for an “electronic neck tattoo,” now Sony is attempting to patent the “SmartWig.”
The… smart wigis described as a wig that can be made of human hair, horse hair, or any synthetic material, and has an integrated electronic circuit.
The circuit can communicate wirelessly with a second device, such as a phone or even smartglasses, and special mechanisms also integrated into the wig can provide the user with “tangible information.”
This means that the wig will be able to vibrateif, for example, the user receives an email or SMS.
In addition, the processor contained in the wig will incorporate GPS, while buzzers in different areas will sound to direct the user!
A series of other sensors, a camera, and even a laser pointer are also integrated.
It is certainly a very loaded "device" that will probably never find its way into mass production, although some of its features could be an important aid for guiding blind people.
