His idea for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coroflot.com\/jq\/The-joy-of-waiting\/\">Game Strap<\/a> is a pretty creative one, and we hope that one day it becomes a reality. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The design would include a display is powered by the grip of your  hand, and when you let go the game is over. It would also alert you via  the display and a vibration when you\u2019re arriving at a station, so that  you don\u2019t get carried away and miss your stop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Admittedly, it would be expensive to outfit a train with so many of  these Game Straps, although perhaps ad agencies might get in on the  action with branded games \u2014 because if you\u2019re going to be bombarded with  ads on a subway, it would be nice to enjoy them at least.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here in Tokyo, such a device would have to compete with people\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penn-olson.com\/tag\/smartphone\/\">smartphones<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penn-olson.com\/tag\/Nintendo\/\">Nintendo<\/a> DSs, and PSPs for attention. Perhaps a network of Game Straps that  creates a social game that everyone on the train could play? It might be  fun if such a game was created to connect individuals riding together  rather than isolate them.<\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[46,52,108,112,113,184],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3784,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337\/revisions\/3784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transportsdufutur.ademe.fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
