Sensory Ethnography Description 1 - Using A Controller

The vibrant blue outline peirces through a mess of thick black wires. My fingers wrap arround the sides with ease as I grip it in both my hands. The feel of soft Matt plastic at the back and smooth Gloss plastic at the frount, my fingers migrate to their places at each side. The shining light ammiting from the centre as the power comes on hitts my eye before it leaves my sight as I look towards the screen. The jolting vibrations being recieved through my sweety palms, assuring me of my actions as I play, begin to send a sensation all through my body. My mind racing as my fingers move all on their own, my heart pounding as the excitement takes me over. I am in another world entirely with nothing but the feel of buttons and vibrations to ground me.


This may be a bit mellow dramatic but I actually filmed myself playing a game to see how long it took me to zone out completely. My old controler from my PS2 was a limited edition and had inhanced vibration sensors so gaming was more intence (I use to loose feeling in my palms at the end of playing sometimes)
