There are two different ways one could attack this project. You could start from scratch, like I did, or you could work from the cad files I've made ...
Once I decided on what exactly the project would be, I had to make a rough plan of action. First, I needed to decide whether to attempt to build a ce...
Next I made a paper prototype of the glove. This was a proof of concept for what the glove might look like and how its mechanics would function, but ...
The next step is selecting materials and components for the phone glove. I experimented with a few different fabrication techniques for the actual str...
To create a design to be 3D-printed, I needed to use some kind of 3D-Modeling software. If you'd like to download and edit the cad files I created (...
Now that I had made virtual models of all my Glove One components, it was time to begin fabrication! There were a couple different technologies invol...
I wanted the glove to have a shiny plastic look about it (like a modern cell phone would). Right out of the printer, the plastic parts of the glove s...
I began wiring the glove by selecting the type of wire. I tested a lot of different kinds of wire, and ended up settling on headphone wire. Yes, lik...
Now the only thing left to do was attach the last few components, and mount the fingers to the base of the glove via the extension springs and micro-b...

If you showed this to the right people this could be BIG. A product like this could go for $500 a pop and people would snap them up like they did the iPhone.
I've seen that ThinkGeek sells the "world's smallest cell phone" which is entirely voice controlled. I'm thinking that might be a good starting point for more of a soft glove variant like the Inspector Gadget photo you used. Of course, extending antennas went the way of the dodo long ago but it'd still look awesome and funny.
Huh, guess they don't sell it anymore. I seem to remember the entire phone was contained in a bluetooth headset-like device. Can't even find it in Google now.
Bio:I love making stuff! Especially when it involves hacking electronics, DIY software and hardware, and digital fabrication. For more info about me check out my website and blog at: http://bryancera.co...read more »
