There have been so many advances in media technology in recent years, but one thing I have wanted for a very long time, and which is still not easily available, is an animated t-shirt.
Sometimes I am just in the mood to broadcast a message to the world on whatever it is that I am wearing. If I could just have a t-shirt that would listen to my smartphone and show in print whatever message I type in, that would completely make my day.
I suppose we could do it with LED lights, but that isn’t all that much fun, I would want it to look like a printed t-shirt. Is that asking too much?
No, not at all!
