The
new gloves allow mobile phone users chat without taking their phone out of
their pocket or handbag.
The
gloves are known as 'Talk to the Hand' and cost £1,000 a pair.
They
come with a speaker unit embedded into the thumb and a microphone built into
the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.
Artist Sean Miles designed the innovative gloves that double
as a phone in part of his project that illustrates the possibilities of gadget
recycling.
He
uses vintage Miu Miu and Pineider gloves and combines them with parts from
mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned the project.
