Finally, the big break for air guitarists. CSiRO have invented a shirt with imbedded sensors that interpret your strumming on your tum into actual sounds. How does it work? The scientists* over at CSIRO found a way to “recognise and interpret arm movements and relay this wirelessly to a computer for audio generation”. You can even it do it tipsy: “There are no trailing cables to get in way or trip over”!
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I thought the joy of air guitaring is that you got to imagine that you could sound like Twisted Sister, without having the actual “talent” of Twisted Sister. I’m sure there are many talented, talented air guitarists out there just waiting for this big break. But for me, I’d rather keep on projecting my talent, than actually be responsible for the sounds coming out. Although, I guess you can always turn down the volume.
* not rocket scientists, rockin’ scientists. get it? ha!**
