Call With Just Your Hands

The Italian technology firm, Hi-Fun has created that lets you make and take calls with just your hands. The new product allows you to speak into your glove and listen to the other person by just pantomiming the 'call me' gesture.

As you can probably surmise, the gloves feature a speaker built into the thumb, a microphone built into the baby finger, and a simple set of controls on the back of the hand for pairing and other functions, while the fingertips have a special thread so a touch screen can be used.

The gloves, billed to come out this month, will cost around £50. The makers of the product believe it will make a lot of waves in the technology market when it comes out. “The hi-Call Man Black is the new sensational product for winter 2012,” Hi-fun boasts on its website.


Speaking on the glove’s features, the makers had this to say: “A pair of warm gloves, perfect for every sport, from skiing to running, with hi-Call you can control the touch screen of your Smartphone thanks to the capacitive technology.

“The left glove has a speaker and a microphone sewed into thumb and little finger, in order to speak to the phone, while protecting from cold.”

The glove also has a rechargeable battery built in, which has a talk time of 20 hours. Inspite of the remarkable features of the product, you must have deduced that the product was made for those living in cold conditions. It has been described as “perfect for chilly winter days.” But do not be surprised when you see people wearing these gloves on the streets of your campuses on a hot-weather day. Nigerians have been known to swoop on technologies not meant for them or incompatible with their environment and living conditions.
So…wanna show off? Order for yours when it’s out!
