How does a man without an arm use a phone?
Catering manager Trevor Prideaux found himself unable to use phones due to his unfortunate disability. With only one functional arm Trevor found it nearly impossible to use his phone as he pleased. After giving it some thought he came up with a solution. He then turned his prosthetic arm into a portable dock for his phone.
But of course this was only a prototype and didn’t really function well. He now sought the help of apple. Apple however didn’t see the potential in the prosthetic potable dock. However Trevor did not give up he sought help elsewhere. Finally Nokia lent him a hand and provided casings for the dock. After receiving a few and testing each one, he selected one for himself to keep as his new prosthetic phone dock arm. He then sent the casing to the Exeter Mobility Centre where tech heads tinkered with the arm making it functional for his phone.
Trevor can now use his phone hands free without any problem. The only problem he now encounters are the updates which cost a pretty penny. I think this is a great idea that really benefits the handicap community.
Francisco, this is a really good blog. I think is is one of the few things that are truly helpful in life, now handicapped people can use phones!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how a man could use a pee, but you did say how he could use a phone. I think it's cool though how you can put a phone into a wooden arm this will benefit many people
