Scientists Create Air Guitar T-shirt

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the my-talent-gets-its-due dept.

onco_p53 writes "Australian scientists have invented a T-shirt that allows air guitarists to play actual music as they strum the air. The shirt has sensors in each elbow and sleeves to detect and interpret the air guitarist's arm movements — one arm chooses chords and the other strums imaginary strings. The gestures are then connected wirelessly to guitar audio samples to generate the music. Check out the video!"

    Grab your right elbow with your left hand, flick your left wrist.

    Flicking my left wrist while my right elbow is in my left hand just makes my right hand swing violently, hitting me in the head. Nice trick!
