Today whilst looking around for the best tech to display video during my Live Show, I found the VJacket. Perhaps one of the most pointless creations in the world…but also one of the most exciting. Here’s a video of someone demonstrating it:

For those of you who don’t know, “VJ” is essentially “DJ” for videos (in otherwords, live mixing of videos). This guy has created a portable VJ controller in his jacket.

Now, I can’t imagine many of us needing one of these anytime soon…but does it spell the future for our clothing? Are we going to be wearing video T-shirts with inbuilt TV screens controlled by our movement? Maybe instead of deciding whether to wear a red or black T-shirt, you could put the video T-shirt on and choose red…and later on change it to black? Or possibly you could stroke from your neck to the bottom of the T-shirt and it would create a red-to-black gradient?! We’ve got the tech, I wonder how long it’ll be until someone decides to create it.
