Banana Phone

hardware

A bluetooth device that plugs into a fruit, specifically a banana, as a power source and can send and receive phone calls. This was one of three projects I worked on during the Spring 2018 HackISU.

The device consists of a compact unit that uses a banana or a person's hand as a human interaction, the device connects to a cellphone over bluetooth to send and receive calls, as entertainment and tasty fruits always go well together.

The device has two cables, one with a speaker, the other with a microphone. For banana use, the microphone would attach to the butt of the banana, and the speaker to the head so that the device would stretch along the fruit making it a usable phone.

For hand use, the microphone end would attach to the tip of a pinky, and the speaker would attach to the tip of the thumb, the user would then extend those two fingers to make a phone-like shape, and would be able to make calls off of their hand.
