Pixelsumo sends word of some new very surreal gaming art.
The G-Link is a portable device that you wear around during the day. It captures real world data about what you're up to, like spending the whole day sitting in your chair or hiking the Rockies, and then uses it to change the appearance and stats of your role-playing game character.
This device has currently been prototyped using the RPG Morrowind. In usual circumstances, a player might make an avatar that is a fitter, stronger more attractive version of themselves. The G-Link reverses this and says if you sit in and play games all day, your character will be weaker, yet if you go out for a walk then your character will be stronger. Also if you go out in the sun your character will be light aligned, yet stay indoors and it will go over to the dark side. Recently part of the CoEDD graduate exhibition.
The I-F-E-A-R (Infrasound Fear Emotion Audio Reverb) project is attempting to measure the lighting and gunplay in Doom 3 and convert it into infrasound in hopes of directly affecting a player's emotions.
