Move over, Wiimote, there’s a new controller in town. A graduate student at NYU has made a controller that helps couples become more … intimate, The controller is a bunch of sensors that fits inside of a bra for women or on the back of underwear for men. The partners touch eachother’s sensors in order to play games. Yes, I’m not making this up.

For her demo, Chowdhury made a video of herself and a partner playing Pong. He stands behind her with his hands near her shoulders, and she reaches back toward his hips. When he touches her left breast, the paddle moves to the left. The sensor in the right bra cup moves the Pong paddle to the right.

“I thought long and hard about how to present Intimate Controllers so it wouldn’t be viewed as ‘girls gone wild’ + technology,” she said in an e-mail. “It’s nerve-racking enough to give your thesis talk. But imagine doing it and knowing your teachers and peers are about to see you in your underwear on screen.”

In all honesty, I’m really surprised that she got her Masters with this. It’s interesting, but it doesn’t seem like it was very challenging. I really hope my Masters will be this easy. There are videos of the presentation below.
