Air Guitar Shirt

CSIRO has built a shirt that allows you to play air guitar and actually hear music! Dr Richard Helmer and a team of researchers at CSIRO Textiles and Fibre Technology in Geelong have created a ‘wearable instrument shirt’ (WIS) that consists of a wearable sensor interface that uses custom software to map gestures with audio samples. The WIS works by recognising and interpreting arm movements - no wires! This technology is adaptable to almost any type of apparel and they have also made air tambourines and an air guiro, a percussion instrument. (GUSH Magazine)
