英国艺术家发明可以打电话的手套
英国一位艺术家设计了一款新型手套，用户戴上后可以通过手套随意接打电话，省去了来电时在包里翻找手机的麻烦，冬天还能为接电话的手保暖。据介绍，这款手套分别在拇指和小指的位置内置了扬声器和麦克风，通过蓝牙技术与手机连接，每双售价1000英镑（约合人民币9507元）。
Gimmicky - and expensive - new gloves allow chatterboxes（唠叨的人） 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.
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.
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 gloves.
If 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.
The service pays up to 260 pounds to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, SatNavs, MP3 players and digital cameras.
Designer Sean Miles, the man behind the designs, hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling.
The 41-year-old said: 'I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets.
'While these might not be for everyone, there are hundreds of other uses that old phones can be put to - from being reconditioned and used again to being mined for their components.
'If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to landfill, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.'
