Shirt, Pants, Gloves, Socks As Keyboard and Mouse Replacement
« on: November 15, 2006, 03:26:45 AM »
CSIRO researchers in Australia had developed Shirt, Pants, Gloves and Socks that can detect the movement of the person who wear the clothes.

The clothes can be used as wireless input devices on computers / musical instrument (air guitar).

Is it possible that in the future gloves/socks/shirts/pants will replace the wireless keyboard/mouse?

Apparently Steve Redgrave bought one of Bloodline's used socks for £1000.
If a boat got damaged, all he had to do was dip that sock in the water, apply it to the damaged hull and wait a few minutes for it to set. That sock patch is reported to be five times stronger than fibreglass. It is what enabled Steve Redgrave to be a world champion!
