Hi-Fun Gloves Give New Meaning to the Saying "Talk to the Hand"
Trenton Millar — September 8, 2012 — Tech
The Hi-Fun Gloves are a Bluetooth-enabled phone accessory that turns your hand into your phone speaker and microphone. Simply make the "call me" gesture with your hand and begin talking to your hand, which has actually become your phone.
The Hi-Fun Gloves have a speaker in the thumb finger and a microphone in the pinky finger. Sync the device to your phone via Bluetooth by using the buttons on the back of the glove, and your set to go. The glove doesn't really keep your hand free, but it does keep your hand warm. Just like everyone who talks on a Bluetooth device, you'll look a bit like a crazy person talking to themselves, but that is half the fun.
The Hi-Fun Gloves are going to be available starting this October.
