英設計師製造新型通話手套 售價1000英鎊

Gimmicky - and expensive - new gloves allow chatterboxes to take the term 'handsfree' to a new level - by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as 'Talk to the Hand' and cost ￡1,000 a pair.

這可不是一款普通的手套，戴上它通過藍牙技術與手機連接，實現通話功能。

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. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phone out of their pocket or handbag.

英國一位藝術家設計了一款新型手套，用戶戴上後可以通過手套隨意接打電話，省去了來電時在包裏翻找手機的麻煩，冬天還能爲接電話的手保暖。據介紹，這款手套分別在拇指和小指的位置內置了揚聲器和麥克風，通過藍牙技術與手機連接，每雙售價1000英鎊（約合人民幣9507元）。目前，這款手套僅有兩雙，會在7月份的一次展覽中展出，如果需求量大的話，他們會考慮大批量生產。

Mr Miles, from Windsor, designed two pairs of the new gloves - one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale.O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimate that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK.

值得注意的是，這款手套內使用的揚聲器和麥克風都是O2回收項目收集的舊手機配件。這款手套的設計者表示，他希望這個作品能夠讓人們開始思考電子設備的回收再利用問題。此前，這位藝術家曾經將舊手機內置到一雙復古鞋中，做成了一雙名副其實的“步話機”。下一步，他打算將手機和手包結合在一起，這樣電話響的時候就不用翻手包了。
