Google Japan has come up with a wearable that is functional and good looking. The Gboard CAPS is a keycap shaped hat. But it’s not all aesthetics, the hat actually works as a keyboard with your mobile device via Bluetooth.

To type, you turn your head to select the key to press and nod to input the character!

A DIY design and schematics open source and are available for download, so you can create your own custom hat or add additional features to your existing hat: Hardware and software and Making your own hat (Japanese) although you can use any hat design. Gboard software is available for Android and iOS mobile phones.
