Wi-Fi Detecting Shirt
Could anything be sexier?
(old news - 12:20PM Friday Oct 05 2007)
tags: wireless · Oddities

Gizmodo directs your attention to The Wi-Fi Detector shirt, which searches out nearby 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi network signals, and then displays signal strength on your chest in real time. The $30 shirt uses three AAA batteries that are stored in a small shirt pouch.

The electronic decal detaches so you can wash off lanparty sweat before hitting the clubs, where this shirt is sure to be a huge hit with the ladies -- unless they're annoyed that it doesn't display 802.11n signals or they're down with WiMax.

The shirt should be available later this month from Think Geek.

Is there any wireless in this office/hall/meeting room?

I am soooooo getting one. Too many people ask me in a day around the office and campus, "Is there Wi-Fi here?" I'll just have to turn on the shirt. Or, if they are an attractive young lady, let them turn me on instead....

After all, I don't have the name "Fox McCloud" for nothing if you catch my drift.

Re: Open or Private Networks

Wifi security is easy enough to get around, even if the best security is on. There is no such thing as secure wifi, cause afterall, you do have to transmit the password over the air, which someone can pick up in a short period of time.

Need to wash it.

I see you do need to remove the electronic parts before washing, or your detector shirt will die. Either that, or never wash it. If you decide on that option, eventually everyone around you might die.

Now that's cool!

I always like hearing off the wall crap like this. Here's the questions Would I look like a bigger geek if:

1) I run aimlessly with my laptop looking for a signal?
2) Wearing this very shirt?
3) I'm just a keep all together it doesn't matter?
