Its just looking for its keycaps.
Maybe they could release the source code to their search engine so someone competent can fix it.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Lol Japan always has the coolest shit and this ad is amazing
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But whatever it's called, Google Japan's latest DIY project is for people who can't get keyboards off their heads.
Everything you need to make this typing topper, including the firmware and hardware, is open source and available on GitHub.
The wearer turns the hat to the left and right, and each angle represents a different character code.
Then, the wearer presses the top of the hat, which has 20 mm of travel, to enter the character.
Google Japan's video about the keyboard playfully imagines different uses for its key-cap, including different looks and having a magician stealthily communicate with its assistant.
Its blog post muses on a version of the keyboard with a smartphone case, built-in display, and solar power—a real hat trick.
The original article contains 273 words, the summary contains 123 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This summary was useful, I had a look at the article and it was somehow not obvious if it's a joke or something else.
Google isn't making this product. Instead, the Gboard CAPS project is another of Google Japan's joke keyboard ideas, like the 5.25-foot-long, single-row Gboard Stick Version keyboard shown off last year, used to promote Google's Gboard app.
