tshirtOS: concept of an Internet-ready t-shirt

Neowin came across tshirtOS, a concept of a programmable t-shirt with built-in camera and Internet support.
Someone had to do it. This is "tshirtOS", and it's exactly what the name suggests. It's a t-shirt running an operating system, and it's even 100% cotton! The t-shirt is a prototype at present, and may never become a reality. It's the sort of weird futuristic thing that leaves you completely stumped. Would you want one? Their concept suggests that the shirt could come with an LCD display (no word on the subpixel layout), a microphone, and a camera. To the joy of photographers everywhere, it could come with Instagram support too, so you could potentially share your finest images on one t-shirt. It really is an odd design.
Check out the video for an example of their prototype:
