Background
“Massage me” is wearable game interface that translates a massage into
game controls. This interface aims to involve the people who are
normally not involved in game play. It also encourages the gamer to
interact differently - massage moves as supposed to button pushing.
There is a strong DIY idea behind Massage me. By posting detailed
instructions on the Internet we hope to animate others to create their
own custom game interfaces.
背景介绍
‘Massage me’是一种将按摩转变为游戏控制命令的可穿着的游戏互动设备。通过它,我们可以把本不参与游戏操作的人带入到游戏中来。游戏者通过
不同的按摩动作来实现按键操作--这就是Massage me中强烈的DIY理念。我们希望在网络上详细介绍该装置,通过这样的途径来启发更多的人创造
他们自己的游戏互动装置。
Objective
This workshop aims to be a short introduction into hacking a gamepad
and how very simple soft electronics can be used to create an
alternative interface. The materials used are cheap and off the shelf,
so that the practice introduced in the workshop can be continued at
home. Sewing, soldering and experimenting with materials is not hard
and should become everyday practice.
During the workshop the participants will need to analyze existing
game interfaces as well as the games. There will also be a focus on
mapping input and output to the body and seeing how it can be made
wearable.
目标:
该工作营旨在简单地介绍制作游戏控制器的方法,以及如何使用简单的电子原件来创造新颖的交互装置。我们用到的材料都是价格低廉,非成品的,因此参加工作
营的人们可以回家继续进行实践。所有的缝合、焊接以及调试工作都不难,都是人们在日常生活中常做的事情。
工作营期间,参加者需要分析现有的游戏互动装置和游戏。并且他们还需要考虑如何将输入与输出信号与身体部位对应,并制作出可以穿着的装置。
Approach
Depending on the backgrounds of the participants this workshop will
try to adjust to their interests and skills. The first day of the
workshop will introduce the participants to the technology, materials
and methods and end with a brainstorming session. Groups of 3 – 5 will
decide on a concept to realize the next day (with respect to the short
time-frame). The second day will start off with hacking, soldering and
sewing and by the end of the day the groups will present their
functioning alternative game interface.
途径
本工作营会尽力根据参与者的兴趣和技能来调整具体内容。第一天,我们将给大家介绍一些必要的技术、材料以及方法,第一天结束时的安排是头脑风暴单元。参
与者将以3-5个人为一组,想出一个第二天要实现的设计方案(本工作营只进行2天)。第二天,各组开始进行裁切、焊接以及缝合等加工,工作营结束的时
候,各组要展示他们制作的新型游戏互动装备。
Schedule工作营安排
Day 1:
12:00-18:00
12:00 Introduction of Massage me: concept and making-of

Output
In groups of 3 or 5 the students will hack their own gamepad and
prototype their vision of an alternative interaction scenario using
soft electronics as well as other available materials.
成果
学生以3-5人为一组使用弱电元件以及其它可用材料,制作原创的游戏控制器。
Tutor Biography
Hannah Perner-Wilson studied Industrial Design and Interface Cultures
at the Art University in Linz, Austria. During her studies she began
to create wearable technology pieces. She is fascinated by details and
interested in exploring alternative and seemingly bizarre human
computer relations.
“Massage me” is a collaboration between Hannah and Mika Satomi.
Mika Satomi is originally from Japan, currently based in Linz,
Austria. Her current interest leads her to explore the concept of an
urban body extension in the realm of wearable technology.
