Air Guitar shirt lets anyone rip it up

airguitar.jpg

Air guitar, that embarrassing pastime of party dudes everywhere, may be getting about 100 times more annoying in the near future. A company called CSIRO has developed a shirt that plays music when you play air guitar, making your inaccurate aping of the fine art of guitar playing sound as good as if you did that crap with a real guitar in your hands. The "wearable instrument shirt," or WIS, senses the movements of your flailing arms and wirelessly transmits them to a computer for generation of your masterpiece. You can record or broadcast your heartfelt rendition of Sweet Child O' Mine, and unlike a real guitar, you can do it with a Bud tallboy in one hand. It isn't clear how the shirt picks up your amazing fingerwork, but perhaps it's for the best that it doesn't. There's no word as to when this will be available or how much it'll cost, unfortunately.
