This high-tech hat may be a follow-up product of Google Glass, a failed technology giant, and may be a similar wearable device, including Snap glasses.
The patent, approved on Tuesday (February 28th), describes a hat and camera system that provides users with an interactive experience of social media, and it can also be used for personal safety, Silicon Beat reports. Users can share photos or videos called Google Hat directly to social media accounts, but hat technology may also be useful in emergencies. [Photo Future: 7 High-tech Ways to Enjoy Images]
The patent shows that wearable camera caps can protect users from threats. According to the patent application of Silicon Film Company,
"The user can activate the emergency indicator and make the wearable camera system send a video feed to the appropriate emergency processing system, thus potentially preventing dangerous personnel from approaching the user." According to Silicon Beat,
Along with the patent of Google hat, the technology company also obtained the patent of "camera bracelet". The drawing of the bracelet shows a digital screen and two camera lenses, but the potential application details are not included in the patent application.
Another wearable device equipped with a camera, Snap glasses, was recently launched on the Internet. According to the technology company, these sunglasses combine camera lens and wireless technology, and users can upload their perspectives directly to Snap's social application.
