we make money not art: Scientists at the CSIRO’s Textile and Fibre Technology division in Australia have woven electronic sensors into a T-shirt (the WIS – the Wearable Instrument Shirt) so that it can be played liked a real guitar.
Movements by the wearer’s arms are mapped and beamed by radio to a computer which interprets them and turns them into musical notes.
“The left arm chooses a note and the right arm plays it,” said Richard Helmer, at CSIRO. The arrangement can be reversed for left-handed musicians. “You can play with yours hands above your head,” added Dr Helmer. “You can turn around and jump. Whatever you like.”
