T-shirts are normally there to cover your body – but a Brighton start-up is making one that lets you look inside it.
The Virtuali-Tee, developed by Curiscope, works with an app to allow children to explore the inner workings of the human body.
The T-shirt itself looks like a stylised skeleton, but when you point a mobile device at it, it creates an augmented reality world.
And putting your phone into a virtual reality headset enhances the experience, the makers say, so it’s “like being teleported inside the body”.
The design of the shirt acts as a map for the technology, allowing users to to have a VR experience within the world around them.
Founder Ed Barton believes it will help to get youngsters excited about learning.
He said: “It’s fun, but you really do learn more through interaction and experience. It becomes inspirational, like a trip to a museum.”
T-shirts are available in children’s and adult sizes, and the app is free.
