PSPrivacy scarf - Image 1 PSPrivacy scarf - Image 2 


Here is an interesting contraption created by a student at the Royal College of Art in London, England. Joe Malia has created a face scarf that allows you to play your PSP in PSPeace and PSPrivacy. According to the student, this face scarf "lets PSP players explore their passion in complete privacy".

Why you would want to cover your whole face up when playing your PSP I'm not sure. Of course, it will probably filter out the sun on a sunny day and allow you to fine tune your gaming tactics with a minimal amount of glare, but I think I'd rather be inside than wear this thing. The student has also been behind other wacky pieces of art such as a scarf that fits over a CRT monitor to provide you with privacy whilst surfing the Internet or writing your emails.

I'm sure there is at least one logical reason behind these - but I'm still searching.

Scarves for Tech Addicts - Image 1 Scarves for Tech Addicts - Image 2 Scarves for Tech Addicts - Image 3 


Wanna be mistaken for a mugger or an extraterrestrial while playing your PSP, answering a text message, or working on your PC? Well, if that floats your boat, then this piece of clothing genius from Joe Malia ought to do the trick. What happens when a proportion of the people using a new technology see it to be so enticing that they are willing to sacrifice every other aspect of their lives in order to engage with it? They wear this and they don't care what other people think!

For now there are scarves like these for PSP addicts, desktop users, and cell phone junkies. I tell you, if you'll use this, the privacy level will be so high plus you can't see those people gawking and laughing at you. Although I'm not so sure if this thing could kill you because of suffocation. These concepts actually originated from Joe's project, Design for the Computer Obsessive, which is a requirement for one of his subjects. I personally wanna try the desktop scarf, just to weird out my officemates (ha, ha)!

For now, these garments are still in the drawing board, but who knows? There might come a time when you're strolling by Target and you see one of these thingamajigs on sale. How about you? You wanna try 'em on or do you think it's just plain ridiculous? Tell us through your comments.
