Australian scientists have developed a unique musical T-shirt that has the capacity to turn the movement's of the wearer's arms into the music of a guitar.
Developed by Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), the T-shirt has motion sensors built into its elbows that pick up the wearer's arm motions. It then wirelessly relays them to a computer, which further interprets them as guitar notes.
Known as the "WIS or Wearable Instrument Shirt," the one arm of the T-shirt picks up chords while the other strums. It is also adaptable to both right and left-handed would-be rock stars.
Richard Helmer, an engineer who leads the research team from the government's CSIRO told the AP, "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," he added, referring to the digital audio file format.
The scientists are planning to manufacture the WIS but it is not yet sure when would it hit the market.
