Orthopedic Underwear with ergonomic feed-back?

oAn Industrial design student from a University in Austria, developed a concept piece of orthopedic underwear with ergonomic feed-back. What? Well, what this means is, the student developed a shirt with tiny receptors woven into the material. These sensors can detect long periods of bad posture and send tiny electrical impulse to make the person correct their posture. The idea sounds a little cheesy at first but the shirt has potential helpful applications in rehabilitation centers. The product was developed a year ago but still remains only a concept. Checkout a picture at the link below, and find access to ways to improve your posture!

That would be kind of cool! I have seen plenty of people who look terrible because of their posture. I feel like going up to them and fixing thier posture. I can just imagine how expensive it would be....ouch!
