Interactive Portal Shirts – Now you’re thinking with Portals

by Kireas on Nov.16, 2009, under Games

Came across these shirts on ThinkGeek, and now I want a pair.

The cake is a lie.

The cake is a lie.

These two shirts show in the portal whatever it is that the paired shirt is facing, thus creating the illusion of a portal.

From the ThinkGeek website:

Product Features

  • Electronic shirts simulate teleportation portals from the game Portal
  • Each shirt features a wireless 5.8Ghz pinhole video camera in the front
  • Embedded TFT LCD screens in the chest area of each shirt simulate the portal
  • The camera from one shirt transmits the image wirelessly to the other, and vise versa
  • Each shirt is powered by one 2190mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack stored in the included belt-pack
  • 1.5 to 2 hours continuous run time, 4.2 hours recharge time
  • All electronics are completely removable to enable shirts to be washed
  • Wired composite video input allows you to play video games or movies on the shirt screen
  • Shirts must be purchased as a pair to work properly
  • GLaDOS Promises a coupon for free cake will be included with each shirt purchase
  • They are a little pricey, at US$99 per shirt

    P.S. – Pay attention to GLaDOS’ promise of cake. This may well apply to the shirts, remember. When you figure it out, you’ll be as sad as I was. I still want them.
