Game Input Device Controlled By Kissing [VIDEO]

There's already a variety of ways to control a videogame, and now artist Hye Yeon Nam has one more. She's figured out how to roll an on-screen bowling ball with a lot of rapid tongue action.

How does Kiss Controller work? It's done with magnets. One of the players provides sensor input with a small magnet stuck to the tongue, while the other wears a headset receiver that senses the direction and speed of that magnet. According to Hye, the object of the game is to "increase the speed of the ball by moving the tongue faster while kissing."

From what we can see in the video, this experimental adventure is either an art project, an excuse for this young artist/inventor to do some very special research with her lab partner, or both. But who knows, maybe this research could result in some unforeseen input device, maybe even the next Kinect or PlayStation Move?

Looks like this project missed Valentine's Day by about a week. Perhaps the idea could be combined with existing input devices that are capable of controlling objects using brainpower, such as that XWave headset we tested that let us move graphics on an iPhone screen using the power of the relaxing mind.
