Headwear with integrated image projector
11490673 · 2022-11-08 ·

The headwear with integrated image projector comprises an image projector and a hat. The hat may be adapted to be worn upon a head of a wearer. The image projector may be coupled to the hat. The hat may project a projected image from the hat onto a viewing surface using the image projector. In some embodiments, the image projector may be coupled to a first position of the hat and the viewing surface may be a second position of the hat. As a non-limiting example, the first position may be the front of the hat bowl and the second position may be the top surface of the hat brim. In some embodiments, the hat having the image projector may comprise a wireless communication interface such that the image projector may communicate with an application program running on a wearer's smartphone.
