defrogHey kids! Want a working Maxwell Smart shoe phone?
You can build one. Paul Gardner-Stephen, a researcher at Flinders University in Adelaide, shows you how.
MATERIALS:
1. A Motorola V620 handset (or any handset with a Bluetooth connection and an external antenna, and supports voice-activated dialing)
2. A Bluetooth headset
3. Shoes (preferably with heels)
FUN FACT: Gardner-Stephen designed the shoe-phone partly for fun, but also to promote the idea of installing wireless electronics in shoes for biomedical applications. For example, the shoes could also be used by doctors to remotely monitor patient vital signs. Also, the sensors in yr iPhone that know when yr in portrait or landscape mode could also be used to tell when an elderly patient is walking around or falls down.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: Barbara Feldon not included.
Damn.
Sorry about that chief,
This is dF
