Most of you are probably familiar with Augmentd Reality: pictures found on things that when viewed through a phone or device with a digital camera can access website information, movies, other pictures, etc. Well, Sega has taken this to a new level with Sonic AR t-shirts. When you hold up a device with the Zapper application, Sonic jumps out of the t-shirt and runs around the person wearing it. Pretty cool stuff, eh?
If you are looking to grab one, they are available in the UK for just £6, but only in child sizes from a company called Asda. Word of them releasing elsewhere is relatively unheard of since the designer George is a clothing brand based in Asda.
Anyone plan on importing? Or will Stevie and Michael buy all of them first?

I love how foreign you make Asda sound. Makes me feel exotic.
Asda is the UK version of Walmart. In fact, Walmart bought them up a few years ago. I bought a kick arse Back to the Future shirt from there once for £4. Bargain.
Next time I’m there I’ll see if I can get into a child’s size. Shouldn’t be to hard what with them chubby children people are having these days.
Hooray for fat kids! Oh, excuse me. Husky kids!
Well it may be good news for you. As the shirts are made in the same Chinese sweat shop your Walmart’s will be made in, then perhaps you’ll see them over on your side of the pond sooner rather than later.
They’re not fat Scott, they’re horizontally impaired.
I’m not too concerned about actually owning one of these, but it would be fun to find one and interact with it.
It feels weird saying that about a shirt.
