What a crazy but at the same time almost practicle idea?...This guy jason bradbury has built himself a bluetooth headset incorperated within a glove so that you can make or recieve a phone call with your hand wearing the glove in a phone position(as in phone hand gesture)!..Who knows the idea might even take off?
Made from a reconstituted Bluetooth headset and a gentleman's driving glove (well it had to be didn't it?) my phone glove will connect to any mobile phone that has Bluetooth. No wires, no plugs. With your phone stashed out of sight you can make and receive calls with your thumb as the speaker and little finger as mic.
I sandwiched the switch that came with the original Bluetooth headset between two small pieces of transparent plastic and heat sealed them together. Placed inside the glove's open knuckle the switch is activated by me flexing my wrist. With a flick of the wrist I can answer an incoming call; with two flicks re-dial the last number. And by holding it open (a mere extended kink of the wrist) I can voice dial. That's right people - VOICE DIAL!
I've decided to include a bunch of pictures my buddy Rich and I took of the initial prototype build and some I did on my camera phone (low res alert!). You should get a clear sense of the method behind this simple but effective invention - rather than me boring y'all with the details.

Hmm.. did he use an old
HBH-30? This was actually a concept used on the cartoon Inspector Gadget.
The problem with a Bluetooth handset glove...is that it defeats the purpose of a Bluetooth device... it's supposed to be "handsfree".
It's a cute idea. And I might actually decide to make one myself... seeing as how my HBH-30 is kinda reaching the end of it's life... and I have a spare Nike golf glove lying around... hehehehe. Just for the fun of it.

Talking into your glove? Asylum for sure. Still a damn cool thing to do though. Don't know how the wrist flipping would work out, might be done by accident.

Heh! He did that on the gadget show last month. Funny, but as said before, it's pointless.
