Head-mounted webcam gets, records funny looks

We've all been there before -- you're an investigative journalist and you need some hidden camera footage of a rave or male model convention. Of course, we've seen plenty of wearable camcorders in the past, but none with that special something -- until now. This unnamed concept design by William Gerwin (and sponsored by Kodak) puts a 10.1 megapixel webcam, pico projector, and WiFi right where you never knew you needed 'em -- on your head. The designer envisions wireless connectivity and P2P support for the thing, but as of right now it looks like little more than a couple pieces of hardware super-glued to a nicer than most pair of headphones. If this thing ever becomes real, we'll let you know -- in the meantime, hit the source link to get a closer look.

So, when I tell people about my blog, and they make a weird face, I can put it on my blog?

I really like those base headphones. Anyone know if they sell any like em?

@LoganSmith

Last seasons Skullcandy T.I.'s had a fur lined headband and optional fur lined earphones (I had them and they were heavenly to wear), and then Neff makes headphones that are fully covered in sock-like knit material, thats probably as close as its going to get.

It also tells you the combat level of your opponents.

'Does this guy remind anyone else of the Scout from Team Fortress 2?

For a second, I thought that his hat was made out of wicker.

Then I saw it was knit. My bad.

We have got to worn the federation - the Borg are here! :-)

Though in reality i would like such gadget, a three in one - mini-display for my eye, camera and projector. Add wi-max - and that would be web 3.0! Imagine - we have podcasts now, and with this - we can have tourcasts! Imagine on a concert seeing the crowd from the stage as your favorite star does - way cool.

First thing I thought. Ooft. :]

OK. So that's the winter version.

I'd like to think a summer version isn't so bulky and . . . um . . fleecey.
