The digital apparel company Cute Circuit has created the TshirtOS, an interactive digital T-shirt that combines self-expression with technology. As the company points out, T-shirts have been the ultimate canvas for self-expression for ages, and now, with the TshirtOS, your tee can display and do exactly what you want it to.
Developed in collaboration with Ballantine's with the aim to create a commercially available digital tee, the wearable technology comprises an LED display, along with a plethora of apps and tools, making the TshirtOS a completely expressive and interactive experience. The tee is connected to your iPhone, which you can use to control the platform, such as post tweets, play and exchange music, snap, share and upload photos and much, much more.
