# Hungry Gamer Headgear Prototypes This Hands Free Prototype Feeds a Gamer While They Keep Playing By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-03-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hungry-gamer References: [bitrebels](http://www.bitrebels.com/technology/ultimate-food-feeder-gaming-helmet) & [mattessons](http://www.mattessons.co.uk/) Gamers are people too, and like most people, they need food to survive -- after all, a hungry gamer isn't an efficient gamer. Fortunately for hungry gamers everywhere and unfortunately, for people who like to use their hands while eating, [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passiveshorts) channel TheSyndicateProject has teamed up with British food maker Mattesons to make the ultimate gaming helmet known as the MMM3000. The helmet includes a feeding tube that drops snacks directly into a hungry gamer's mouth, as well as [headphones and a microphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-motoko) for online gameplay. Seriously, I don't know too many hungry gamers who would ever consider wearing such a thing, but considering it was made as a promotional prototype for Mattesons' Fridge Raiders snacks, I can get on board. Over 15,000 crowdsourced designs were considered before this design was decided upon. Even Tom Syndicate in the YouTube video acknowledges how ridiculous the helmet is -- ridiculously awesome, that is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hands-free Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative products that enhance the gaming experience by providing hands-free options for gamers. - **Gamification of Food Consumption:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create gamified food products or experiences that cater to the gaming community and offer convenience while gaming. - **Promotional Partnerships:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with brands to create unique and attention-grabbing promotional products that cater to specific target markets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate food consumption into gaming devices or accessories to enhance the overall gaming experience. - **Food and Snacks:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop convenient and easily consumable snack options specifically designed for gamers. - **Promotion and Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create engaging and interactive promotional products for brands to connect with their target audience and make a lasting impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Game-Ready Fry Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamifries.md) - [Extra-Long Gamer Noodles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-noodle.md) - [Pizza-Warming Console Sleeves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-wrmr.md) - [QSR-Branded Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-gaming-chair.md) - [QSR-Themed Gaming Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccrispy-ultimate-gaming-chair.md) - [Gamer-Targeted Noodle Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-cup-noodle.md) - [3D-Printed Gamer Gummies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummies-for-gamers.md) - [Snack-Themed Gamer Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullcandy-x-doritos-slyr.md) - [Gaming Taquito Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feeding-gamers.md)
