Use a smartphone bracketed to vaccuum cleaner wand, to display an augmentation of the floor space, as the basic game gear of a computer game. This game would be designed to entertain and to work, ... mostly work small children via the act of vacuum cleaning.
The smartphone view will be one of a coloured
floor that gets erased away when vacuumed. Under the 'colour' or extraterrestrial flora are little flounder like aliens than have to be caught and sucked up.
Once uncovered the cute little aliens have to be chased around as they flipflop around the floor before they make it under the colour again.
So, sit on the sofa, pour a wine, lift your feet and watch the fun.

Exploiting child labour, [+]. |

"Mom, can I go sweep up Aiden's house? He has a
level 3 Pikachu that I need..." |
|
| |
Could be adapted for cleaning up roadsides as well. |
|
| |
Dental hygiene: further you could have a pokemon level up if the person uses the electric toothbrush effectively. The optimal pokemon only appears near bedtime. |
|
| |
The problem with a dental hygiene game, once the basics are down pat, would be you also have to level up the gut immunology avatars and bacterial biome MMIPG (inline) environment. |
|
| |
Or dress up the vacuum like a Ghostbuster gadget,
add some vr, and there you go. |

| |
Sp. vacuum, but [+] anyway. |
|
| |
Transfers well to lawn mowing too. [+] |

I'm imagining this as a kind of augmented reality
Pacman - it's actually a really good idea and, as
others have said, could be applied to vacuuming, lawn
mowing or teeth brushing |
|
| |
If you find playing Pacman tedious, you can distract
yourself with a little light vacuuming or lawn mowing
and before you know it, you've finished the game! |

| |
This could work equally well the other way … use AR to convince
uses that they're dealing with garden weeds, when they're
actually controlling a killer robot. |
|
| |
Some of the best ROV pilots are recruited from the ranks of keen
video gamers … |
|
| |
That's roughly the plot of "Ender's Game". |
|
| |
I think the aliens simply choose from people who
have actually watched Enders Game. |
|
| |
Actually, those are the ones we tend to reject as unsuitable. |

Oh, and we slightly resent the term "aliens". OK, so, fair enough, We Walk Amongst You. We don't make a secret of it. But honestly, homo sapiens, lots of stuff you do falls into the domain of what "alien" species unhesitatingly categorize as "Well weird shit" ... OK, you're buying youself great ratings on the Galactic entertainment channels, but at what price ? You're not getting a whole load of respect, indeed none whatsoever. You're not even cashing in on the royalties <snigger> ... |

And potatoes. Across the Galaxy, species composed of carbosilicate crystals who live at the bottom of oceans of liquid methane and metabolise ammonia laugh at your attitude to potatoes. "They peel them with their metal knives ... " |
|
| |
Prime time comedy, we assure you. |
|
| |
A quick perusal of you, [8th], would tend to suggest that
you are not entirely unacquainted with chips. Or mash. Or
indeed a hearty plate of chips with mash. |

M.A.S.H was great. Alan Alda for the win. C.Hi.P.S.
was okay, but suffered from typical 70's cop drama
formulae, and Ponch didn't go very far after his fame
from it. |

I like this idea. [+] but I also thought about how vaccuum
cleaners are used on children in the context of abortions.
Would it be too weird if children we trained to perform
abortions, as a game? |
|
| |
[-] true, it is a game, rather than self fulfilment and human development in a purely ..is.. way. |
