Hi Anthony! 

You could make a Synthesizer in a Top Hat and wear it around playing music
based on what direction you walked in.  Gordon Mumma had something like this
back in the late 60's, but it didn't have any gyros in it.

Put a battery, speaker, and an amplifier in it!

Your whole hat could react to lighting conditions, direction, barometric
pressure, (blood pressure or alpha brain waves through the hatband), and
you could put a tilt sensor and accelerometer in it for when you wear it
while riding a unicycle...
