The Massage Me Game Controller Jacket

Our prayers have been answered, maybe. If we could convince our gaming significant others to play their games via this jacket, perhaps the world would be a calmer, more relaxed place. Basically, with plans available on Lifehacker, you make a vest that has embedded controls for the game system inside the jacket.

Instructables user Mikamika explains in a three-post series that you build the jacket with neoprene, two layers of conductive fabric, and perforated foam to build in the separation between the two conductive layers until pressed. You can also check the GeekSugar link or Instructable for videos of the jacket in action.

After watching the video, we're not sure how relaxing this would be, but if you have knots, the repetitive pressing of the "buttons" might help the situation. In any case, this is a definitely creative project!

good idea maybe for certain games but this guy is playing a fighting game and seeing the way my BF and his friends play Tekken, i would NOT want to be that controller...

Don't play DDR with this either, or your significant other may need a chiropractor. :)
