If you like getting people’s attention and don’t mind if that attention is more centered on ridicule and other people thinking you are special (and not in a good way), ThinkGeek has the clothing for you. The Interactive Portal Shirt is now available at the purveyor of all things geeky for $99.99.

The obvious drawback is that you have to buy a shirt of each color to be able to transmit the video, which means you need two shirts at $99.99 each. The center circle of the shirt is a LCD screen with a 5.8GHz camera mounted above the screen. The camera on one shirt sends video to the screen of the other and vice versa.

The shirts are powered by 2190mAh lithium-ion battery pack that is stored in a belt you wear around your waist. The electronics are removable so you can wash the shirts and wired composite inputs are built-in so you can play games on the screens too. Just don’t forget you are wearing this when you go to the bathroom.
