Hey, men! Tired of meeting ladies on eHarmony that end up looking more like Aileen Wuornos than their Charlize Theron-esque picture? Is your best pick-up line, “Is that a mirror in your pocket, because I can see myself in your pants”? If so, you may be interested in this…
NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program student Drew Burrows, 28, has engineered a “virtual girlfriend,” and showed her off at a recent Tisch School of the Arts show:
It’s simple to behold — a single mattress, tucked into a dark, curtained back room of the showcase space. On it: a lithe brunette. She’s perfectly quiet, but once you sit or lie down, she responds to your every move. Lie on your back, she snuggles up right next to you in a log position. Curl up in the fetal position, she spoons. The only hitch: She’s 2-D. “Yeah, you can’t feel the girl. That’s the thing,” Burrows explained as he demonstrated his invention, an “infrared sensitive” light projection (meaning it reacts, and the projected woman moves, based on an infrared sensor) called INBED. “Still, it’s so nice if you’re tired and worn out to have someone to curl up with.” As for satisfying those not-so-innocent late-night desires, this lady adheres to her role as steady girlfriend. Give her kiss on the check and she rolls over and buries her face in the pillow…she stays fully clothed at all times.
Fully clothed?! How lame. Why, when I go to bed with MY virtual Clooney — um, never mind.
