T-Post Says: Play With Yourself

Slip into your t-shirt, then sit down and play rock paper scissors. With your t-shirt. Seriously.
You probably heard about Taylor Swift's 3-D cover of InStyle back in December, but in case you didn't pick up a copy, it was pretty sweet. When you hold the cover up to your webcam, you see a 45 second video of Taylor surrounded by snowflakes. Maybe not the most entertaining viewing of all time, but still, the gimmick was pretty cool.
T-Post has put InStyle to shame with the release of their latest "wearable magazine." Throw on the shirt, plop down in front of your laptop and turn on your webcam. Right before your eyes, a hand emerges from a square on the shirt to play rock, paper, scissors with you in real time. We're not even going to ask how this possibly works, but it's frigging cool.
Just one of many amazing shirts put out by T-Post, the Swedish based company that sends its subscribers a new t-shirt every six weeks, with the latest off-beat news printed on the inside, and an artists reaction to said news on the front (watch their amazing animated video explanaion here). The idea is brilliant, and perfect for wardobe misfits who can't stand wearing the same thing more than a few times. Each t-shirt is designed by a different artist exclusively for T-Post subscribers, and made with perma-comfy American Apparel cotton t's. This is the kind of brilliant innovation that gets us excited; a combination of fashion, technology, art, and design.
The only question now is, what will they think of next?
