Magical beanie cap puts animated 3D masks over your face

To be the indisputable life of the party, you need more than a fancy augmented reality shirt. Sure your friends can play games on it, but it can't turn you into a werewolf, an alien, a zombie, or a TV head like this beanie cap can.

The cap, called Zaphat, was designed by Zappar, the company that also came up with the aforementioned augmented reality shirt. All your friends need to do is look at the cap through the screen of a tablet or smartphone that's loaded with the Zappar app (download Zappar for iPhone and iPad or Android) to see you transform into something more amusing or more sinister.

There's no word yet on when the Zaphat will be released, but it will be available from retailers as well as from Zappar's online store.
