CHE Proximity creates ‘Alert Shirt’ for Foxtel which allows AFL fans to experience the physical world of the game
Foxtel, with help from CHE Proximity, is making the most of the wearable technology trend in its latest campaign which aims to take the AFL fan experience into the physical world by allowing them to feel what the players experience as it happens during the game.
CHE Proximity has created the ‘Alert Shirt’, working with wearable technology experts We:Ex to gather real-time game data which is transmitted via a mobile Bluetooth app to the electronics inside the shirt.

The shirt then converts this date into sensations that simulates the live sporting content and can be used during live games shown on the Fox Footy channel.
So how much is this shirt going to cost? And, what players will be wearing them during the game to be transmitting these alerts? Because if Hodgey is lining up for goal, how do I know if his heart is fluttering if he’s not wearing the shirt on the day??
Finally, where can Collingwood fans steal these from?
Noice.
This is very cool! Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these
Is this like the tech-underwear that another brand brought out for partners living apart? And is it possible that footy players can now feel up people without even being in the room?
awesome!!!
just too much of a stretch here for me. you certainly can replicate the erotic touch of a man/woman with some pulsating and vibrating…but match a hard hitting tackle???…..nah, cant swallow it.
that said, im speaking from no experience here, so ill come back when ive got one of said shirts
really? a buzz or a vibration whilst watching the AFL whilst wearing this shirt – this is so far fetched for the average viewer, its a total gimmick.
It may do well as an experiential/event type platform where the public/kids can give it a go for fun.
At the end of the day if you want to experience the game you get off your ass and go to a live game or go grab a footy with your mates and give it a kick. No amount of buzzing or vibrating in real time will ever make you experience or feel what the player is feeling.
Feel the experience of fumbling and the rush of getting a point for missing!
