Leave it to Thinkgeek to take April Fool’s day to a new level. Among their pranks for the day are thesePortalt-shirts, which, as you can see, are fully functional. From theproduct page:
Unfortunately during initial testing of the Interactive Portal Shirts at least 128 testing subjects were injured or maimed while practicing the teleportation procedures. Therefore it was decided to provide a visibly functional version of the Interactive Portal Shirts while forgoing actual teleportation. The finished product you see here uses twowireless 5.8 GHz video camerasmounted in the front of each shirt along withtwo high-res LCD TFT screens. The camera in the orange shirt transmits the image to the blue shirt, and vise versa. In this manner it seems as if a fully functional portal has been created between the chests of both subjects.
Brilliant. We love you in an embarassing crush sort of way, Thinkgeek. While you’ve over there, make sure you check out the equally awesomeTauntaun sleeping bag, which I wish to god was real. Of course, the8-Bit Tiewasn’t real at first either, and then customers begged and it was. If you really want either of these products, start emailing them to beg now (although I’m pretty sure no amount of begging is going to get thosePortalshirts really made).
Hit the jump to see video of how the shirts “work”!
