A hat, containing two hands, two mechanical arms and
some nifty computational capabilities, to keep you on
task.
Depending upon the user's preset parameters, the hat
may
or may not correct behaviours as simple as looking up at
the wrong moment or as complex as daydreaming about
young Miss
Marple in Acc... but I digress.
Upon detection of the reprehensible offence, one of the
arms reaches out from under the hat and doffs the
apparatus; the other takes a swing of considerable force
and clips the wearer over the ear.
The arms then replace the hat upon your pate and
rearrange themselves tidily out of sight, upon one's
bonce.
Attempts to thwart the device, with such clever
contrivances as chinstraps, merely result in the speedy
production of a sturdy pair of scissors or oxy torch, to
cut said strap.

the best part would be if you could connect it to
sensors monitoring other people's behaviors that
way you could be notified of how irritating they are
and put on guard to punish them . |
|

^ ah but if you stay on task you get a head massage. |
|
| |
It would be fun to give a hat like this to an
unsuspecting wearer. |
|
| |
This is a real glimpse at a collective potential dark
future. In other terms is this not a very personal
disciplinary drone. Governments will love to be in
control of this. |
|
| |
Could you make this hat angry? What could a hat like
this do for the wearer in the
evenings? |
|
| |
The best part is that the hat takes itself off to deliver the slap. [+] The worst part is that such hats might one day be imposed on half-bakers. |
|
| |
I'm sure the arm mechanisms of we halfbakers would
simply rust away from non-use... |
|
| |
That's why I left it hanging in mid-air, [21Q]. |
|
| |
[Ubie], if you have difficulty implementing or
wearing this, I'm pretty sure there'd be people
willing to step into the breach. |
|
| |
If ever I need you to step into the breach I'll be sure
to rattle the slop bucket for you, [Max]. |
|
| |
I think I would quickly adapt and duck. She said. |
|
| |
Sorry, [21Q], chinstraps were anticipated in the
original design. |
|
| |
Perhaps one of those twin-bladed, counter-rotating
saws? With boart-impregnated, tungsten carbide
teeth? |
|
| |
Any relation to Schuhplattler (Bavarian leg slapping)? The hat could add another dimension (metaphorically speaking) see video linky if you really must |
|
| |
Similar, [not]. Spells like overproof spirit. |
