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.
“Developing the air guitar was a technical challenge for precision textile-based sensing.”
Dr Richard HelmerResearch engineerCSIRO Textile & Fibre TechnologyThe intent of this clip is to explain the instrument, its postural flexibility and ability to repeatedly play performance parts with the CSIRO wearable instrument shirt guitar.
The wearable instrument shirt is a conventional black long sleeve T-shirt and the textile motion sensors used by the instrument for monitoring elbow movements and computer interface are not directly discernable in the garment.
