The worlds first communication glove: Swany G-Cell
Glove manufacturer Swany, known worldwide as an innovation leader for high-tech sports gloves and Texsys GmbH, a Research and experimental development company from Germany presented during ispo winter 2008 the next generation of Interactive Fashion in form of the G-CELL™, a glove with integrated Bluetooth cellphone link.
This revolutionary glove has a microphone and speaker integrated as well as the call and end button, a light to give visual indication of an incoming call and a vibration function to alert you of a caller.
Set up is easy: pair the G-CELL™ gloves with your Bluetooth enabled cellphone like any other BT accessory and your are good to go / speak. Over are the time you have to rummage through your pockets to get on your cellphone only to discover your caller lost patients and gave up. With the G-CELL™ you are always one hand gesture away from your face to pick up all the important calls.
Some technical data of the G-CELL™ gloves:
- Bluetooth 2.0 complient
- Voice Dialing compliant
- Vibration and Visual Alarm
- Standby around 240 hours
- 48 hours talk-time
- Rechargeable Lithium Ion Polymer Battery
- Waterproof electronic system
While this concept is a great example for interactive design and fashion, the use will be limited to ski slopes considering the design of the gloves. I can not imagine anyone will use such gloves beside winter sport activities.
The cost of this high tech G-CELL™ gloves is not known at this moment but I guess people hat have to stay connected and expect to make or receive important calls while skiing will not mind the additional cost.

Running on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, the G-Cell—which is, of course, waterproof—is currently merely at the development stage, but here’s hoping it goes into production. I’m betting Blam would love to test this one out up at Tahoe. [talk2myShirt] [...]
