What does it do??
A hat detects your body temperature like a thermometer and shows your body temperature through colors. This could be useful for avoiding people who are sick. If you are in a crowded area, ideally everyone is wearing the hat and they all have colors on a spectrum representing their body temperature (their health.) Warm light colors like red, orange, and yellow signifies high temperatures, and you definitely want to avoid being in a group with too many warm colors. Instead of having to look and count the warm colored people around (which could take too long and be distracting if trying to do something at the same time like grocery shopping) there is a second component to the hat that will fix this problem for you. The hat is also covered with prisms that detect light/absorb the light, and a wire or tube on the hat connects to some glasses that change tints depending on the colors around and you. It will combine the colors around you using a spectrum numbered 1-6 and do math to average the colors around you. Each color is assigned a number, and the hat comes up with one final color score. The glasses tint changes colors to match the final color score. If you are in an area where too many people around you have high temperatures, your glasses will turn red, alerting you to go somewhere else.
