If you thought you had seen if all when it comes to wearable tech, prepare for a very rude awakening.

For London Fashion Week, Acer has collaborated with a designer on what it's calling a Selfie Hat: a bright and sparkling pink hat with a tablet hanging off of it (specifically, Acer's Iconia A1-840). There's also a matching, non-wearable tablet case with a hat on top of it too.

The case is being sold in limited numbers, but the hat is apparently only going on show at a Fashion Week event from its designer, Christian Cowan-Sanluis. The Selfie Hat is actually a riff on an outfit that Cowan-Sanluis made before — the earlier outfit was even worn by Lady Gaga.
