We’ve seen some pretty outrageous looking antennas in our day, but NEC could have a hit on its hands with this newfangled cloth iteration. Granted, details are still hazy, but apparently this device can receive OTA TV signals and double as a handkerchief if you so desire. Reportedly, the firm has lined the cloth triangles with a “special metal” that can pick up broadcasted signals, and it’s already thinking about integrating this into tents and other outdoor equipment. Additionally, this could certainly take wearable electronics to a new level if it were woven into one’s garb (walking televisions, anyone?), but sadly, there’s no word as to when (or if) this technology will hit the mainstream.
