Seriously, people have become too much innovative these days and so here comes a wearable computing “T-shirt”.

Imagine a normal T-shirt with LED display, camera, microphone, speaker and accelerometer stitched up in 100% cotton texture and all that is controlled through an app on your Smartphone.

Say Teee!
Introducing tshirtOS, World’s first ever attempt on wearable electronics computing “T-shirt”.

Wearable gadgets are not new to us as we have already seen about Google’s Project Glass. But this is a certain evolution in wearable computing devices world, as a t-shirt with an integrated display and camera that gets your clothes online!


The crazy buzz over this techie T-shirt started by a viral video that launched yesterday showcasing this smart-shirt prototype designed by CuteCircuit, with support from whiskey brand Ballantine's.Check this out!




CuteCircuit a London-based interactive fashion company , responsible for this smartee describes tshirtOS as “World’s First Wearable, Shareable, Programmable and 100% cotton tshirt”. This shirt has a microprocessor, which wirelessly connects to an iOS app that in turn can call on the internet for passing information to and from your clothes. Currently, the prototype can  make use of Google Translate, play music, videos, take photographs and updating them to your Instagram account too.

The tshirt OS has  an ultra-slim PCB with Bluetooth, USB, an accelerometer and a pair of headphone sockets, the company claims that the camera used in tshirt OS is the smallest in the world, it measures 2.5 x 2.9 x 2.5 mm, captures pictures at 32 x 32 resolution and of course  1,024 ultrathin RGB LEDs for display.

I can hear you asking, this tshirt is washable too!(not compulsory though :P)



So when will we see people wearing this smartee? Not soon.

This is a prototype model and so will cost ‘n’ times more than your already costly branded T-shirts. But the company says, if they have more people showing interest in this product they will reduce the price, the demand-supply thing they say!
