Great Project!

An inventor developed a totally natural, highly trendy, simple solution: where he constructed a hat with an attached laser pointer at home Close to your project, it spins 360 degrees to produce a red circle of six feet around you.

I don't think that I could manage a 2 hour walk wearing one of these [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-9b2aa058-401b-4a8e-bbb7-1184d453078a/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]. I bet the kids love it!!

I think if you were wearing this hat people would most likely stay more than 2 metres away anyway. A good solution although it looks a little top heavy - perhaps it is a top-hat. You might try using a hard hat safety hat instead of the soft-cap. These provide a much more rigid structure with the potential to hide the electronics inside the hat, between the webbing and the plastic of the hat. You could also try placing multiple PIR sensors around a hat to achieve the same outcome.
