Geeks Make Good Lovers: Master’s Degree Thesis
Mon 23 Jul 2007 – 10.50
This is a few months old already, but still worth a note. Jennifer Chowdury, a Master’s graduate from NYU, shocked academia when she turned up for her presentation in her underwear. But it was part of the gig. According to Wired,
Her master’s thesis project, Intimate Controllers, is not explicitly sexual — but it’s not something you would use with your sibling, either. Intimate Controllers is a set of sensors embedded in underwear that direct the action on a video game. Rather than sit separately on the couch and jam fingers against small plastic buttons, players touch each other to control the game.
And naturally, there’s video.
Kinda makes my Thermal Systems Design class seems downright catatonic.
