SmartWig Sends Email Alerts

Nov-25-13 Sony has patented a design for a SmartWig that would connect wirelessly to smartphones and provide haptic feedback to signal email messages and such.

The SmartWig would be able to wirelessly communicate with a “second computing device,” such a smartphone, tablet or sunglasses. In addition to providing email alerts, the wig could also be paired with a GPS device, which would trigger different areas of the wig to vibrate to indicate directions. Other ideas in the patent include touchpad-integrated sideburns, a built-in camera and a laser pointer.

Besides helping the user feel a bit like James Bond, the wig could also have medical applications—such as monitoring brain waves, blood pressure and temperature.
