MIT Creates Urine-Controlled Video Game

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday May 6, 2003 @10:21PM from the you're-in-control dept.

cscx writes "Well, they've done it again. The boys at MIT have designed a video game that's playable by doing your business at a urinal . The game resembles "Duck Hunt" from the Nintendo days, except instead of the Zapper gun, the game is controlled by your stream hitting a multitude of sensors placed on the back wall of the urinal. Weird? Yes. Still cool? You bet." The accompanying document (PDF link, here's an HTML version from Google) explains how this game could lead to improved sanitation, since you won't want to miss, and may even increase personal hydration, since getting rid of all that water is now so much fun.

So I guess this is for boys only? by mithras+the+prophet · 2003-05-06 23:06 · Score: 5, Funny

Video games are always being marketed to boys, but this takes that gender-preference a little far, don't you think?

Dick Hunt! by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-06 23:42 · Score: 5, Funny

I think "Dick Hunt" is a catchy name that is far less ambiguous than "You're In Control".
