This is for a good cause, but it’s already funny enough catching people ‘talking to themselves,’ fidgeting their heads with Ryan Parry’s Tilt Headset is just going to be downright hilarious. That aside, it’s an amazing invention. For those unable to use a phone, Parry has devised a way to bypass those tricky buttons.
With the Tilt Headset, people with physical impairments will be able to scroll utilize their phone by moving their head. For instance, through a series of actions (tilting head to the right to scroll through the menu, placing head back up for selection and nodding to accept it) one can easily manage what was once an impossible activity. See how easily the Tilt Headset could cause misunderstandings? Good thing the Tilt Headset is easily recognizable!
