Wearable Experiments (Australia) has combined fashion and technology to create a shirt that can locate and guide the wearer. The purpose of the product is to help the wearer can "lift his head" on the road and no longer do not focus attention on the map in the smartphone. According to the manufacturer, this will help the user avoid accidental accident like stumble or bump into the power pole!

On the outside this shirt is very fashionable. The seamstress groomed the small boards and LEDs along the sleeves. A smartphone software plays the role of the "brains" that control the shirt.

First, the wearer will use the software to create the distance to go. Navigation signals will be transmitted seamlessly from the software in the phone to the circuit boards and led lights in the jacket.

When a person wears a walk, drive or bike ride, LEDs on the sleeve will signal when to turn left or turn right. Each sleeve is fitted with 5 LEDs. When going straight, all five lights are on. The nearer the light curve will decrease. At the right turn, the shirt will "pat" on the shoulders of the person. If the turn is to the left, the device will vibrate on the left shoulder to signal, and vice versa will vibrate on the right shoulder if you need to turn right.

Billie Waterhouse, the designer of this unique t-shirt, said: "The navy has raised its way to a new height, the first in the world to help wearers redefine the way they wear. from point A to point B ".

Wearable Experiments plans to develop its products in a number of major European markets through bloggers and fashion websites.
