These shirts are really animated? How does that work? And DUDE, that's so cool!

I believe this is the same technology that the European company LumiGram uses to make clothing and tablecloths. Their first prototype clothing items and tablecloths were out last year, but this is an extension, using the lights to "animate" t-shirts. :)

Hey, thanks for the link. I just convinced my company (Bluesocket) to order a bunch of them for trade shows. If I can snag one, I'll send it your way as a thank you :)

Sweet! Though if they were distributed at trade shows I would imagine you'd just see max signal all the time...

But they would no question be the coolest con swag ever.

Want.

By the way, I think it was you who once mentioned Sock Dreams to me.

Thus, I blame you. Expect my legion of cyborg zombie monkeys to arrive any day to wreak revenge. They will be wearing stripey socks.

If I am mistaken, my apologies for the monkey attack.

Hah. Yes, I believe the Sock Dreams was in fact my fault. Monkeys appropriately deployed.

I always forget to sign in.

The anonymous comment was me...

Woohoo, you found it! I was wanting to show it to Tobi, 'cause I saw it in my TG catalog, but couldn't find it on the web site.

I've been spamming TG items lately.
