It's happened to the best of us: You
spilled coffee on your keyboard at work, and the IT guy is so pissed
that he doesn't want to give you a new one. What do you do? Get pants
with a built-in keyboard of course!
This is where Erik de Nijs of Nieuwel Heren's Beauty and The Geek
pants come in handy. As well as being a pair of comfortable jeans, the
pants also contain a wireless mouse, keyboard, and speakers. Look
closely, the orange stitching also resembles a Printed Circuit Board (CRB) pattern.
Oh, and get this:
The pants can be tethered to your computer using either a bluetooth
connection, or a cable that wraps around your waist like a belt. Just
be sure you aren't wearing any cords (*insert sad trombone*).
Erik
designed these concept pants to not only combine the worlds of fashion
and technology, but also angled the keyboard so that they would be
comfortable to use while sitting down. Considerate, though the
keyboard's placement might make you look a little odd while typing on
it.
These pants are both a very
interesting concept, and also very strange. It looks like you would
need to slouch slightly to type with the keyboard, and the mouse could
be awkward to use as well. Plus, it would take someone pretty confident
to strut their stuff with a keyboard hanging off their pants. Still,
it's quite nice to see fashion and technology attempting to merge. Now,
if only Tron suits were cool on the catwalks.
