There is good news for all you wannabe Jimi Hendrixs, Slashs, Edges and Jason Newsteads! Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia, has 'built' a shirt which enables users to play an 'air guitar' simply by moving one arm to pick chords and the other to strum the imaginary instrument's strings.The T-shirt has motion sensors built into its elbows that pick up the wearer's arm motions and relays them wirelessly to a computer which interprets them as guitar riffs.One arm is interpreted as picking chords while the other strums. The "wearable instrument shirt" is adaptable to both right and left-handed wannabe rock stars.There are no trailing cables to get in the way or trip over and the sound generated is just like an original mp3.

This technology takes clothing beyond its traditional role of protection and fashion into the realms of entertainment and a wide range of other applications including the development of clothes which will be able to monitor physiological changes.By customising the software, the team has also tailored the technology to make an air tambourine and an air guiro (percussion instrument).
