Ever thought of a T-shirt with wearable LED display, camera, microphone, speaker and accelerometer, all packaged into it, that can be controlled via your smartphone? Most of us haven’t. But, London-based interactive clothing company Cutecircuit has teamed up with Scotch whiskey distillers Ballantine’s to create the world’s first washable, sharable and programmable T-shirt with all the elements stated earlier – wearable LED display, wearable camera, wearable microphone, wearable speakers and wearable accelerometer.


Programmable T-shirt - tshirtOS

According to its creators, the name of this T-shirt is “tshirtOS”. The T-shirt has built-in camera, speakers, microphone and accelerometer. tshirtOS can be controlled wirelessly via an iPhone app. So, its wearers can display tweets, share music, take photos and share photos with their tshirtOS. According to PC World, the prototype is apparently able to make use of Google Translate, play music videos and songs, utilize Instagram, take photographs, and display social media messages.

The people who are involved behind tshirtOS have claimed that the in-built camera is the smallest in the world, measuring 2.5mm x 2.9mm x 2.5mm that comes from Omnivision and captures at 32 x 32 resolution. The t-shirt will have 1,024 ultrathin RGB LEDs, a USB port, a pair of headphone sockets and Bluetooth. There is an audio playback via a headphone jack too.

CuteCircuit has been experimenting with two versions of tshirtOS. One is an 8-bit processor from ATMEL, and the other a 32-bit ARM Cortex (also sourced from ATMEL).

The commercial version of tshirtOS is not available yet. At present, the t-shirt only exists as a prototype. CuteCircuit, the company behind tshirtOS, plans to conduct product tests soon. It will start producing the smart-shirts depending on how many people register their interest and share the video (above) of the product on Twitter. If you want to have this T-shirt, you can register your interest at the company’s Facebook page.

    ‎”I might’ve very well been Out-Of-Body as I just seen the wildest thing.. A display of wearible luminous synthetic material wear the images on the shirts changed at will or based upon the interest of the wearer.. like watching TV or something on a shirt–how cool is that!!…. Apparently returning I was hearing Astral noises because I heard someone in the house known to me call my name that sounded so real I immediately went to their room to check on them only to find them sound asleep snoring loudly!.. :D :l
    The actual material resembled like a loose worn dry wick shirt only it seemed to be made from a silvery screen like mesh material in breif moments when it was emitting no signal or between I guess station changes.. Lol The odd thing was that the imagery used to initially draw me to the shirt was a facebook logo and images but colorful (artsy) of one of my Missing Person Locate RVs containing both images and writing–
    Believe it was of Gal… ilea Guadalupe Magana…. picking up the shirt to closer examine it was when it changed becoming silvery, then another image, then something resembling sonic the hedgehog.. Even more profound was that underneath these shirts were three doll like figures.. one of a girl.. one of a strange other worldly figure that I could feel some strange force emitting from it of a not so good nature like a cross between the V for Vendetta figure/and a japanese samurai but without the armer.. Plus one more figure which was connected to the girl but didn’t strike me as female but not of a sinister nature like the second doll…..” – Excerpt from dreamscape (night 03/08/12 to morning 03/09/12) ***Which I sense is consistent and supportive of her still being in good health, in the presence of two individuals (which I believe to be male; consistent too is one seems darker then the other character wise), and still waiting for our efforts to suceed in finding her.See More

    Why I don’t mind seeing technology from my dreams come to life….. I’m very interested in knowing How and When the idea for this creation arrived to them?. As I posted the above message to the Help Find Galilea Magana site which can still be found with original posting date on in the See All section of that page with original posting Date/Time.
