Woolen Dreams

From a NYTimes blog, about an NYU/ITP project:

Cloud 1001 was a pillow that connects to a sensor that you wear on your finger as you sleep. By sensing your galvanic skin response, it knows when you are entering REM sleep and then plays a soft strain of music from a speaker woven into the pillow. The contraption is meant to facilitate “lucid dreaming,” in which the sleeper is aware of and influences the dream. “What’s it like?” I asked Daniel Liss, the creator. “I’ve never been more exhausted in my life,” he replied.
ITP projects are legendary as they are creative. See a list of ITP projects for yourself.

The invention of murder seems an interesting time-waster.
