AIR GUITAR IS ALWAYS IN THE NEWS...at AFI FEST there was even a movie on AIR GUITAR...by Joyce Schwarz, blogging at Hollywood2020.blogs.com...but we couldn't help but be intrigued here at Hollywood2020 with the new development that comes out of Australia-- an AIR GUITAR T SHIRT -- advance textiles is an amazing area of discovery-- NANOTECH & MORE...but this is one of the first time that we find a T SHIRT THAT TALKS -- well almost....
'Freedom of movement is a great feature of these textile-based interfaces,' he says. 'Our air guitar consists of a wearable sensor interface embedded in a conventional 'shirt', with custom software to map gestures with audio samples.
It’s an easy-to-use, virtual instrument that allows real-time music making, even by players without significant musical or computing skills. It allows you to jump around and the sound generated is just like an original mp3."
HEAR IT FIRST AND THEN WE'LL TELL YOU HOW IT WORKS:

OR what about a TAMBOURINE SHIRT???
HOW DOES THE AIR GUITAR T SHIRT WORK?
* by recognizing and interpreting arm movements
*realaying that info wirelessly to a computer for audio generation.
*no cables to get in way or trip over.
*Textile motion sensors are embedded in the shirt sleeves
*These sensors detect motion when the arm bends
*Right/LEFT -- in most cases the left arm chooses a note
* and the right arm plays it.
