An air guitarist’s dream!

All those skills learned playing air guitar can be put to use now! A scientist in the Australian government organisation CSIRO has demonstrated a shirt that has sensors that respond to the motion of the arms, to play music!


See the videos here and here.


CSIRO Research engineer Dr Richard Helmer is interviewed about the wearable guitar which works by recognising and interpreting arm movements and relaying this wirelessly to a computer for audio generation. It then shows him demonstrating it.

Now if they could only get him to look as if he was enjoying himself!
