Not surprised by the SmartWatch? Meet Sony's SmartWig...yes you read right!



One wonders if brands think sometimes, like Sony and its strange concept that will make you scratching your head...


For now, high-tech companies are looking for smart watches or even Google glasses, any small devices that may be worn constantly.


Sony hopes one day that you would wear a kind of wig called SmartWig which sends you electric shocks when you get a notification. You can even differentiate them based on the location.


Sony has even patented the idea of integrating a touch pad in your hair. Raising your eyebrows will allow you to do an action, making you a remote control on feet. The gadget would be also used to monitor brain waves, blood pressure, temperature and other stats related to health.


Not crazy enough for you yet? The patent indicates that SmartWig could also incorporate a built-in camera, GPS, and a laser pointer. Don't laugh, Sony is considering hair extensions or false moustaches to pair with the wig... If a user is excited, the hair would change dynamically...


For the record, it doesn't seem to be an invention that will land in stores anytime soon. Technology companies are constantly trying to drop more or less strange patent applications. Many of these ideas are ridiculously exaggerated and totally bizarre, makes you wonder where people get these ideas from.
