CSIRO has "built" a shirt which could fulfill the fantasy of anyone who has, in the privacy of their homes, jammed along with one of rock 'n roll's great lead guitarists. Led by engineer Dr Richard Helmer a team of researchers at CSIRO Textiles and Fibre Technology in Geelong has created a 'wearable instrument shirt' (WIS) 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.
