It’s a game that you’re playing in couple. Like an erotic game, where you have to touch your partner’s body (in precise area) to win. The man is wearing a boxer, and the girl is wearing a bra.

Technology:

The technology used here is has to be wearable. The sensors are FSRs - force sensing resistors, they detect where you touched your partner. The Atmel chips is the microcontroller used to interface the sensors with the computer.

And off course there are clothes: a bra, a boxer.

Motivation and strengths:

It raises the question of how game can change our interactions, how it can bring husband game players to their wives.

Innovative controversial, pushing the limits in game controllers.

“Excuse” for intimacy and way to relax.

Weaknesses

The position of the sensors enables only one game position, and it is not so equal because the men is behind the girl.

The game is a little bit basic, so it can be boring so fast.

How would we improve it

Put different kind of sensors for different kinds of sensual experiences: more sensitive – gentle touch, less sensitive for harder touch. Type of sensors directs the interaction and the experience.

Use the game for cooperative rather competitive game. Weird intimacy should go with collaboration.

It can be fun to put a Multiplayer mode. Moreover this game is not designed for gay people.
