Forget about the best and worst tech products, it happens ever so often in the industry that a product is outright ridiculous. Like every year, 2014 has been no stranger to these and here are some of the most insane we saw this year.
Selfie Hat
A wide angle front camera is fine, in fact, we'll even let the selfie stick go, but a hat? Really? Now that's definitely pushing it. Acer's Selfie Hat is definitely the most ridiculous tech product of the year.
Selfie Brush
You can 'proudly' tell the next generation that you were witness to the rise of the selfie brush. This hair brush cum case for your phone takes selfie to a different level. What a time to be alive right?
CAT Digital iPad Holder
Would you believe that this product has seen two generations? It includes a stand for your iPad or other tablets and even a roll of toilet paper. Yes, go ahead, join a meeting on Skype while you're in the toilet. We dare you.
Thanko Thumb
You know how people are always talking about big screens and how they're bad for single handed usage? This is the answer. It's a thumb extender that allows you to easily reach the entire 6 inch display on your smartphone. This is where innovation crosses the line and becomes ridiculous, ladies and gentlemen.
Bamboo Cutting Board with Stand for iPad
You know what you always want to do while using knives? Concentrate. Which is something that this cutting board won't allow you to since it will place your iPad right in front of you, allowing you to watch movies while you cut vegetables or your fingers for that matter.
Smart Cup
You know how you often make coffee, pour it into a mug and then forget what you were drinking? Don't worry, this product will solve those issues. The product, called Vessyl, has attracted quite a few names in the tech industry, so we're going to wait and watch if it turns out to be more. For now, it gets a spot on our ridiculous list.
Neurocam
Google calls its Glass testers Glass Explorers, while some prefer Glassholes. We wonder what those people would call Neurocam owners. This device straps around your head, attaches your iPhone on one side and takes videos of whatever interests you throughout the day by tracking neural activity. It's creepy and it's overkill.
Drum Pants
There's a reason why these are at the bottom of our list, because they seem to have some functionality for drummers. For everyone else though, these pants that can make various drum sounds are useless.
This gaming mouse may very well be useful for pro gamers, but you can't deny its creepiness. This mouse will know what you feel when you're playing a game and also measure your heartbeat.
