Atari’s new Speakerhat blends wearables with fashion

Atari is blending fashion and wearables with the debut of Speakerhats, or baseball caps with audio speakers built into the visor.

The move shows that Atari is willing to go far afield from games to take advantage of a brand that has been around since 1972. Atari is partnering with Audiowear, a tech company that created the new Speakerhats in time for an unveiling at the San Diego Comic-Con event this week.
