- N900 Cyber Kanny
Here's my hardware hack idea for Nokia's N900 Push contest, the N900 Cyber Kanny!
In Finland, the homeland of Nokia, mobile phones are referred to as Kannys, which literally means “an extension of the hand”. I would like to make this extension of the hand very visceral by combining Nokia's N900 with retro virtual-reality peripheral, the Nintendo Power Glove. The resulting hardware hack would enable hand gesture based interaction with the N900, controlled through the glove interface.
In order to answer a telephone call, the user makes the 'telephone gesture' and their hand becomes the handset, bringing a whole new meaning to "talk to the hand"!
