You're In Control (Urine Control)
MAS863 Final Project 12/16/02
Hayes Solos Raffle and Dan Maynes-Aminzade
The You're In Control system uses an array of piezoelectric sensors mounted to the back of a urinal to detect the position of a stream of water, allowing a person to play a video game while peeing. A video monitor is mounted above the urinal, and position on the back of the urinal corresponds to position on the screen. We created a custom video game (our interpretation of the carnival game "whack-a-mole") in which the player attempted to hit hamsters as they flew out of one hole and into another hole in the ground. A successful hit would turn the hamster yellow, make it scream and spin out of contol, and give the player ten points.
For the public demonstration we created a wearable game controller with fresh water reservoirs, allowing men and women to participate. Photo documentation (http://www.media.mit.edu/physics/pedagogy/fab/fab_2002/personal_pages/hayes/mit.edu/urinecontrol-photos2.html) describes the fabrication process. Video documentation (http://www.media.mit.edu/physics/pedagogy/fab/fab_2002/personal_pages/hayes/mit.edu/urinecontrol_video2.html) shows fabrication techniques and public participation. Our CHI 2003 Submission (http://www.media.mit.edu/physics/pedagogy/fab/fab_2002/personal_pages/hayes/mit.edu/yic_chi2003_posted.pdf) summarizes fabrication and research intent.
