Zapper and Hybrid Clothing unveil AR-infused T-shirts


Zapper and private-label clothing chain Hybrid have doled out T-shirts that lets you experience Augmented Reality in a whole new way. Apart from accentuating your geek quotient, these T-shirts come with Threadless-esque designs that come to life through AR. There is a Zapper App available for smartphone and tablets that will actually let you play the game called “Mars Attack” in an AR setup. All you got to do is point the rear camera of the device on the graphics of the shirt and start playing.

Check out the video below that gives you a better understanding of how this thing words. It is good for few minutes of amusement but post that holding a tablet in that position and playing would be inconvenient. The T-shirt just does the job of providing the graphics so this isn’t exactly a winner for me. I think LED T-shirts do a better job at adding that geeky zing to your personality.
