Lee Wei Chen, a design student at Kingston University, has come up with an arcade cabinet that washes your clothes. Which is also a washing machine that plays games.
‘I realised that the skills I had developed in the virtual world were useless in the real world. I wanted to make them useful,' Chen says.
So you need to play, and win, the game to wash your clothes. Suck at the game and the washing machine stops working, and won't start again until you get to winning.
