It’s an issue that’s plagued cellphone users for years now. You like the convenience a Bluetooth headset promises, but don’t want to look like a complete tool walking down the street. So as a happy medium, Hi-Fun has created this Bluetooth glove that lets you make and take calls like you’re pantomiming the ‘call me’ gesture.
As you can probably surmise, the glove’s feature a speaker built into the thumb, a microphone built into the baby finger, and a simple set of controls on the back of the hand for pairing and other functions. The folks at Engadget took it for a spin on the IFA show floor and weren’t exactly impressed with its performance—particularly since a pair will cost close to £40 when they’re available in October. And while they’re clearly designed for use in cold weather conditions, it’s probably not a good idea to get the electronically-enhanced gloves wet. So forget about calling in reinforcements during a snowball fight.

Could These Patented Smart Gloves Be a Google Glass Peripheral?
If the mic is in the oinky finger why is the index finger greyed? I could only be bothered to go one link deep to the engadget page where they’re video indicated that the person the were speaking to had problems hearing them. Could that be because they were using the wrong finger as the mic?
But more importantly… why do i care so much to log in and post a comment, it’s not like I’m going to buy these.. It’s a quiet Saturday.
No, the thumb and index finger are greyed out so you can use a capacitive touch screen with the gloves on, they are coated in a special conductive material.
