Technology in clothes couldn’t have been more advanced than this! The concept is almost robotic. Reserachers in Australia’s national science agency, the Comonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CISRO) have come up with a method that integrates microscopic motion sensors into the elbows of a long sleeve T-shirt. What’s the purpose? Well, this enables the wearer of the shirt to create music just by waving his arms.

The working is simple. Sensors inside the Wearable Instrument Shirt pick up the wearer’s ‘air guitar’ arm movements. This information is sent wirelessy to the tiny computer where digital audio files convert motions into sound.

And if this technology was not enough for us to digest, Italian clothier Ermenegildo Zegna has created ’smart’ textile methods to make world’s first solar powered ski jacket. By the way, the waterproof jacket can charge your mobile phone and even your iPod. Read More

Solar Powered Limousine
The Dubai Sea Limousine is a thought based on the “The World,” a manmade archipelago comprising of 300 islands, replicating a world map. Positioned 2.5 miles off the coast of Dubai, the geography consists of a sequence of synthetic islands that are currently under erection and this determined taxi service developed and designed by Dennis Ingemansson would serve as a marine haulage between artificial islands. The distinct sea limousine stands on opulence yacht design and comes motorized with solar cells incorporated in the casement skin and moves ahead via hovercraft.

Monitored by a satellite navigation system, it requires no human pilot and creates no noise about this concept being labeled as ultra futuristic.
