It’s a natural progression, really. Long ago within the heyday that was 2008, we saw a fully-functional keyboard worked right into a pair of jeans. Three years later, those characters have morphed into something much more raucous. The University of Hull’s own Aseem Mishra has just nabbed an prized engineering award for his recent musical work — specifically, for integrating eight sensors into an otherwise ordinary set of trousers. For now, the wearer has to attach their legs right into a speaker-filled backpack as a way to be heard, but he’s engaged on a wireless version that’ll transmit to far larger sound systems. There’s also hope that version 2.0 will include more sensors for more sounds, and if a manufacturer decides to begin shoving these into your local Hot Topic, we’re guessing they’ll be available in a rainbow’s worth of hues.
