…if it ever comes out of a designer’s head.

So how many times have you seen people make the motion “Call Me” with their pinky and thumb? How would you like it if by doing that you could answer a phone call? Well, the Icono can allow you to do just that. Just attach the phone to your thumb and pinky and you are good to go! Of course, it seems like it could get kind of heavy after awhile and…well…I guess it would just justify less talking time on the phone for me (for those who don’t know me, that would be a good thing)!

The Icono has created a new experience for the telephone, which is a very traditional product. I have based my design on the iconic hand gesture people use to represent the telephone. The handset is divided into two parts, earphone and microphone. This invites the user to use the iconic gesture when using the phone. When the user dials the numbers, an animated path is shown on the touch screen. Therefore, people start to remember the person by their unique pattern rather than the numbers. This, together with the two-piece handset creates a more emotional interaction between the phone and the user.
