The prototype taught how to reach orgasm by simulating the effect of pleasurable sensation on a cartoon bunny.〔("Video game unlocks orgasm secrets", canada.com; December 5, 2005 )〕〔("Orgasm: the Ultimate Game ", Heroine Sheik; February 13th, 2006 )〕 * Fabulous/Fabuleux (born 2008) * * Her experimental art game work with Lynn Hughes, "Fabulous/Fabuleux,"〔("Fabulous/Fabuleux" at Paraflows 2010 in Vienna, Austria )〕 was created at Concordia University's Hexagram Institute and integrates gameplay into a full-body interactive installation using custom "squishy" interface hardware ((Video) ). * Body Heat (2010) * * (Body Heat ) is a vibrator interface for the iPhone and iPad. By "finger painting" on the touchscreen with one or two fingertips, the user can adjust and adapt vibration speed, intensity, and patterns solely by sense of touch. Output from Body Heat is translated into signals which propel the motor of an attached vibrator. The project was first presented at the sex tech conference Arse Elektronika in September 2010 in San Francisco.〔("The Performant: Dies Arses have it", San Francisco Bay Guardian, October 6, 2010 )〕 The company OhMiBod, which specializes in music-driven vibrators, was so impressed by the design that they bought the application and renamed it into "OhMiBod app" in early 2011.〔("Body Heat: sexy iPhone application is now available on the App Store" on monochrom, 2011 )〕〔(Official Body Heat site on OhMiBod )〕 * Joue Le Jeu (2012) * * (Joue Le Jeu ) was a well-received〔("De Nantes à Paris, les jeux sont fête" in Libération, 2012 )〕〔("La Gaîté lyrique joue le jeu" on culture.fr, 2012 )〕 exhibition at La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, France. It showcased new forms of games and creative game design. The exhibition was not a static retrospective, but a hands-on experience of all types of interactive play: video games, mixed digital/physical/social/board games. Heather Kelley (and her co-curators Lynn Hughes and Cindy Poremba) focused their curation on new narratives, game styles and innovative aesthetics that are different from familiar game industry blockbusters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heather Kelley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
