Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
I am referring to, of course, what else but the
wonderfully kitsch intimate video controllers created by JennyLC which
actually do allow couples to control their video gaming experiencing
using each others underwear.
Why these geek pants and bra combos never made it into the shops I will never know.
The idea is sound enough. "With the introduction of games and entire
consoles using novel controllers like the Nintendo Wii, Guitar Hero,
and Dance Dance Revolution, I’ve become interested in how game
interfaces can change the way players interact with one another off the
screen" JennyLC says.
It all started with a design school assignment to create a controller
for a game of Pong. JennyLC, for some reason, decided to create it
using a bra. "The mapping for the controller would be simple: touching
the left breast made the pong paddle go left and the right breast made
the paddle go right."
From here things sort of spiralled out of control and eventually the
full set was born, a bra for the female player and boxer shorts for the
male.
"Each controller is embedded with 6 sensors placed with varying degrees
of intimacy in relation to the body part with which they correspond"
Jenny says, continuing "Players must pass game levels together and in
doing so, game play results in increasingly intimate positioning."
And who said that gaming geeks were unsociable loners? It certainly
brings a whole new dimension to your average Halo 3 deathmatch...
