Every year, Brian Williams Science helps you find the perfect gift for the science enthusiast in your life. Today, we present The Virtuali-Tee!
Every year, the Brian Williams Science publishes a set of articles aimed at helping you find the perfect gift for the science enthusiast in your life. We call it Giving the Gift of Wonder. This year, we’ve got a very special list of great gifts ideas meant to inspire curiosity and imagination. Some are for children. Others are for adults. Many are for kids of all ages! Chances are that you’ll be able to check a few names off your list with some of the ideas you find here. And as usual, we hope that you will take time this holiday season to Do Some Science!
Today’s Gift Idea: The Virtuali-Tee
The Virtuali-Tee is an augmented reality t-shirt designed to explore the inner workings of the human body. After installing a free app, you simply point your phone’s camera at the shirt and watch as a 3-dimensional image of an organ system appears. Click on a hotspot and anatomy expert, Hans Glover, will guide you through a tour of your internal organs. The latest version of the app even has a heart rate tracker. As a result, you can visualize your beating heart live in augmented reality! The app also works in selfie mode and can be streamed to your TV and projector. Above all, it’s machine washable!
