Massage Me
Massage me is a wearable interface that channels a videogame player¹s excess kinetic energy into a back massage for an innocent stander by.
Using the Massage me device requires two people, one who wears the device to receive the massage and one who manipulates the device to give the massage. Because giving a massage can be a boring and rather tedious task, the interface simultaneously acts a game controller which motivates the masseur by involving him in game play.
Pressure sensors embedded in the wearable interface sense the massage movements which are interpreted and passed on as control signals to play existing games. Otherwise wasted button-pushing energy is transformed into a massage and the addicted game player becomes an inexhaustible masseur.
