01.(Amazing)Sony 'SmartWig' patent reveals GPS and brainwave monitoring capabilities

Are you both bald AND lost? Then the new "SmartWig" from Japan might be just what you need.

The techno-toupe, which can read the wearer's brainwaves and direct them to their destination with onboard GPS, is the latest and possibly the wackiest addition to the world of wearable computing.

The country that brought us world-changing hits like the Walkman and the pocket calculator, as well as instantly-forgettable misses like the walking toaster, now offers a hi-tech hairpiece.

The proof-of-concept invention comes in three varieties, each specially designed to make life that little bit easier for the follically challenged.

Wearers of the Presentation Wig will be able to remotely control a laser pointer from their mop-top. They can move forward through a PowerPoint slideshow by tugging the right sideburn and go back a page by pulling on the left.

The Navigation Wig uses GPS to speak to satellites and guide users to their destination with tiny vibrations on different parts of the head

Therefore, the launch of the Newsstand for Android app is essentially replacing Google's Google Play Magazines and Google Currents apps.As Google highlights in a blog post about the launch, app users will be able to subscribe to newspapers such as the FT and the Wall Street Journal, HD magazines including Rolling Stone and the Economist, but will also be able to launch the app to keep up with blogs they follow and to manage RSS feeds to a host of news sites -- so think Flipboard.(25/11/2013)
