Virtual Foreplay - Nerd's Way

This has got to be the best way to get some. Jennifer Chowdhury has developed a platform where video games are played by couples touching each other. Controls are placed on thin clothing parts such as a bra for the woman and a thin pair of shorts for the man and everything the two have to do is follow some on-screen activity and match whatever indications appear. For example a color or a geometrical shape indicates that you, as a man, have to grab the woman's breasts.

I'm sure that the introduction has captured your attention, so here are Jennifer Chowdhury's thoughts on her invention: "The project began as an exercise for networked objects. I made a pong controller that was made from a bra. The mapping for the controller was simple - touching the left breast made the pong paddle go left and the right breast made the paddle go right. I then found out about a phenomenon called gamer widowhood where men essentially abandoned their wives to play video games night and day. I wanted to create a type of video game play that would center around a couple's intimacy and where two people would touch each other in order to play the game."

If you think your relationship needs some spice to get it back on its feet, this is probably the best way you could do it. It beats the Wii big time, that's for sure. I can see the future now:

- you meet a girl online;
- you share thoughts, hobbies, pleasant activities etc.;
- you tell her you like games;
- she tells you she likes games;
- you tell her you have the game platform with the "Intimate Controllers;"
- she tells you: a) "Great, maybe we'll play it sometime, or b) "What are you some kind of pervert?" but that doesn't necessarily mean she wouldn't want to.

Xbees, fSRs, atmel chips, some clothing and a flash game programmed by Sinan Ascioglu, is all that Jennifer Chowdhury used for her thesis project. Watch the video presentation below and think about it.
