Wearable air guitar shirt

Filed in archive Cool on November 15, 2006

Imagine you play air guitar wearing jeans and t-shirt - but you really produce music! That's whats possible since monday (but in a first easy application).

The T-shirt has motion sensors built into its elbows that pick up the wearer's arm motions and relay them wirelessly to a computer which interprets them as guitar riffs, said Richard Helmer, an engineer who leads the research team from the government's Australian Commonwealth scientific and Industrial Research Organization

You can not really play a guitar because the t-shirt can not interpret riffs. But you can have a lot of fun by simply being loud :-)

Via T-shirt turns "air guitar" strumming into music
