Touch Me

  till 29th August @ the V&A

  Went to this on the weekend and it's ace! highlights for me included table tennis that has little fish projections swimming across the table and when the ball bounces it creates little light ripples
  AND
  a 2 player pac man game where one person has to operate up&down and your friend does left&right, but the controls are bouncy space hoppers! really difficult and stupid and fun!

  "Many of our ordinary interactions with the world make poor use of our sense of touch. Using a computer keyboard, flicking a light switch or pushing a door provide few tactile rewards.

  However, designers are now creating novel objects that engage more playfully with the touch senses. Some explore unexpected materials. Some reinvent how we use objects and technologies in order to produce more satisfying encounters. Some are even creating designs that aspire to promote richer human relationships."
