Big Huggin' is a game designed for use with a custom teddy bear controller. Players complete the game by providing several well-timed hugs to a 30 inch teddy bear.  It is an experiment and gesture in alternative interface.  Instead of firing toy guns at countless enemies or revving the engines of countless gas guzzling virtual cars, why not give a hug?  A hug is simple gesture. It is one of the first physical expression of affections a child learns. It is a gesture for the familial through the romantic. It is a gesture of mutual benefit.
