In addition, the laser pointer and the remote control for the speech can also be controlled by the head movement. Ultrasonic sensors can also be used to send and receive ultrasound to detect objects around them, thus reminding them of obstructions at the top or back of the head.

The patent document says the wig has several advantages over known wearable computing devices, including a significant increase in user comfort and an improvement in the operating process of wearable computing equipment.

First, wigs are easier to hide parts of the device, and the head is more sensitive than other parts of the body, so the wearer can get more data. Smart wigs can also act as physical and environmental sensors to send health information to professionals.

However, the wear around the wig to grasp the user, and fashion may be a combination of technical flow is another way of thinking.
