Australian scientists have invented a T-shirt that allows air guitarists to play actual music as they strum the air.
澳大利亞科學家們近日發明瞭一種新穎而神奇的T恤衫，對於那些熱衷於空氣吉他演奏的人來說，只要穿上它便可以在沒有吉他的情況下，僅憑“手舞足蹈”就能夠彈奏出逼真悅耳的音樂。
The T-shirt, created by scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), is called a "wearable instrument shirt."
這種T恤的發明者是澳大利亞聯邦科學與工業研究協會（CSIRO）的科學家，他們將其命名為“可穿著的樂器襯衫”。
The shirt has sensors in each elbow and sleeves to detect and interpret the air guitarist's arm movements -- one arm chooses chords and the other strums imaginary strings.
科學家們在該T恤的每個肘部和袖子內均放置了一定數量的感測器，以及時捕捉到吉他演奏者雙臂的動作並對其進行分析——其中一支胳膊負責選擇想要演奏的和弦，另外一支則會親自去撥動那些想像中的琴弦。
The gestures are then connected wirelessly to guitar audio samples to generate the music.
這些動作會被以無線電通訊的方式傳送到吉他音頻採集器中，並最終合成出人們所聽到的音樂。
"It's an easy to use, virtual instrument that allows real time music making, even by players without significant musical or computing skills," said CSIRO engineer Richard Helmer.
“這其實就是一種簡便易用的虛擬樂器，它使得人們可以進行實時的音樂創作，即使是那些不具備高超的音樂及電腦技巧的人也能夠做到這一點。”
"It allows you to jump around and the sound generated is just like an original mp3," Helmer said in a statement on Monday.
CSIRO的工程師理查德·海爾莫說，“它可以令你隨心所欲地蹦來跳去，而最後發出的聲音聽上去與mp3十分接近”。
Researchers specializing in computing, musical composition and textile manufacture combined their skills to create the musical T-shirt.
"The technology, which is adaptable to almost any kind of apparel, takes clothing beyond its traditional role of protection and fashion into the realms of entertainment," said Helmer.
海爾莫說，這種音樂T恤實際上是那些專門從事電腦、作曲及紡織品製造等方面研究的學者們通力合作的產物，“這項技術幾乎可以應用在各種服裝上，它使得服裝超越了保護人體及引領時尚的傳統功能，成功殺入到了娛樂王國之中”。
