Ten post jest na temat, albowiem opis pracy mowi "The goal of this
project was to research and create objects that challenge the
traditional notions and orientation of video game play...", a wiec
"objects" sa.

N.Y.U. - New York University to jeden z najlepszych uniwersytetow w
USA a prawdopodobnie i na swiecie. W slynnym Courant Institute
kladziono podstawy pod wspolczesna matematyke i fizyke, i do dzis jest
to bardzo znany osrodek. Stern School of Business nakresla kierunki
wspolczesnej ekonomii. Nei mowiac o computer science i innych. 

Z tego wzgledu nalezy patrzec uwaznie na badania tam prowadzone,
zwlaszcza przez mlodych naukowcow. One bowiem wytyczaja kierunki
przyszlosci. 

Jedna z takich osob jest Jennifer Chowdhury ktora obronila prace
magisterska w kwietniu tego roku. Link do zapowiedzi prezentacji jest

Intimate Game Controllers 
Jennifer Chowdhury, Mehmet Sinan Ascioglu 

'Intimate controllers' is a platform where video games are played by
couples touching each other 

Description 
My thesis work involves building game controllers into undergarments
so that games are played through players physically touching one
another. The goal of this project was to research and create objects
that challenge the traditional notions and orientation of video game
play. 

Personal Statement 
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.
