Scientists at the CSIRO’s Textile and Fibre Technology division in Australia have woven electronic sensors into a T-shirt (the WIS – the Wearable Instrument Shirt) so that it can be played liked a real guitar.
Movements by the wearer’s arms are mapped and beamed by radio to a computer which interprets them and turns them into musical notes.

Sounds like Nerd Heaven! Via WWMNA

    It’s the tech version of the air guitar shirt!

    It just won’t do. There’s no point to a guitar that can’t be smashed to pieces at the end of a song.

    Rock on!

    And if you’re doing a Hendrix piece, you can’t set fire to your shirt.
