Google Gboard CAPS hat: a unique invention that turns your head into a keyboard
Google's Japanese division recently introduced something unconventional in the field of technological innovation: the Gboard CAPS hat. What distinguishes this item from the usual one is its unique functionality. SSPDaily has learned more about the device.
Features of the gadget
So, what's all the fuss about? Here's the trick: you can type with the device! Inside this seemingly ordinary cap is an accelerometer that accurately "reads" your head movements. These movements magically transform into letters and symbols, making the cap a keyboard on your head. To send your text, you just need to press the hat as you would a regular key, with a nice 20-millimeter travel.
Connecting with other gadgets
The technical tricks don't end there. This "keyboard" can be easily paired with a smartphone or any other Bluetooth-enabled device. Thanks to the USB-C port, it can be easily connected to the network. In addition, you'll find a 120 mAh battery inside for convenient typing.
Before you get too excited, we'll explain that this is more of a whimsical experiment by Google Japan than a mass market product. They don't plan to flood the market with Gboard CAPS hats. However, for tech-savvy enthusiasts, GitHub provides access to blueprints and the necessary software to create your own keyboard typing device.
