Google Japan Live: create a QWERTY keyboard hat, you can wear typing

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery!

CTOnews.com, October 7 (Xinhua)-- Google Japan has launched a creative product: the Gboard hat. This is a hat that not only can be worn on the head, but also can be used to type on a mobile phone. It is inspired by the keyboard cap on the physical keyboard, that is, the keys printed with letters, and the name of the Gboard hat is based on Google's virtual QWERTY app.

Google has also launched a website where users can use the computer's camera to see how they look in the hat. When the user tilts his head to a different angle, different letters appear on the display, which is why the hat can be used as a text input device for a mobile phone, tablet or computer. With the help of a miniature gyroscope inside the hat, when you rotate your head and see the letters you want to type, you tap on the top of the hat as if you were typing on a physical QWERTY keyboard.

Unfortunately, instead of producing this product, Google has turned it into a DIY project, where users can follow the instructions on GitHub to make their own hats, with the address of CTOnews.com: click here direct.
