Digital pinball on an old-fashioned wooden table
http://dvice.com/ archives/ 2008/ 05/ digital_pinball.php
Daniel Soltis's Moving Parts project was another standout invention from NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program show today. Soltis describes his project as a "two-player hybrid physical/video pinball game that uses variations in game rules to elicit different social interactions between players." For example, you can play against the person at the other end of the table in "competitive" mode by trying to sink his ball, or the two of you can put the machine in "collaborative" mode and both try to keep the balls in play for as long as possible.

CO2RSET makes it hard to breathe when the air gets murky
http://www.quantumxen.net/blog/google_shared_items/co2rset-m...Kristin O’Friel, another NYU ITP student, invented the CO2RSET, a corset that tightens or loosens around your body depending on the amount of CO2 in the air around you. She says that she was influenced in part by this smoking jacket, another piece of clothing that reacts directly to the air that you breath into it. The corset is laced with wires attached to tiny motors. The motors respond to input from the corset's attached CO2 monitors— look closely— they stick out of the vest's floral decorations like thumbtacks. Though the jacket currently only responds to CO2 levels, the O'Friel hopes to continue development so that it eventually also responds to air contaminants like Carbon Monoxide as well. The idea is that if you know that the air quality around you is sup-par, you'll leave. It's a great concept— our only objection is that right now, you have to wear the corset on the outside of your clothing. In the future maybe the invention will work under your clothing— and as a bra.
