It seems that 4K is one of the biggest trends at this year's CES, and many electronics manufacturers have showcased their latest 4K-capable devices (TVs, tablets, digital cameras, and wearable devices).

While last year Panasonic launched the HX-A100 wearable camera capable of capturing 1080p Full HD video, this year, the Nippon electronics manufacturer announced an UHD camera that easily attaches to your head thanks to a plastic mount that comfortably attaches to your ear and neck.

The new model is similar with last year's HX-A100 and, while detailed specs are yet to be revealed, the camera was connected to a 4K display via a mini-HDMI port, making clear its Ultra High-Definition capturing capabilities.

As reported by Engadget, the camera is able to capture a wide field of view thanks to its fisheye lens, delivering sharp images even on a 4K display. For the moment, there's no information about its price, but it seems that it will be launched later this year.
