Virtual Air Guitar Shirt

For those of you who like nothing better than to pump up the volume of your music centre and strut about the room with your air guitar, culminating in trying to crowd surf your sofa, this could be a dream come true.

Thanks to the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) you may soon be able to wear a shirt that uses sensors around the elbow and sleeves to detect your movements and relay them to a computer which will create the appropriate stadium shattering sound.

And if this isn’t rock ‘n’ roll enough for you, you’ll be interested to know that the technology is also being used to develop virtual tambourine playing – and, of course, as all rock aficionados already know, the tambourine is very much the unsung hero of all guitar and heavy rock bands.

You can read more about this as well as other technological developments at CSIRO via this link.
