      • pink theme
      • Kiss to open
      • dating apps (love @ first sight)
  • Teapot phone
    • what does it do? no idea but it raises the question of how this would be different from any other IoT product out there?
  • Phone Bag
    • 😀
  • Me Sized phone
    • same idea of the phone bag. to make something bigger and kind of counter current trends of going small.
  • Spoon Phone
    • your phone is super dirty so putting it in a spoon would force you to clean it more.
    • plus you always need a spoon, so you would always have one on hand.
    • could be made from the metro pole anti-germ metal
  • Shoe Phone
    • charges phone as you run/walk
    • if high heels, no need to bring your phone for a night out
    • tap dance to do numbers (1 tap = dial 1)

  • Optical Unlocking Phone
    • gives you an eye sight test to unlock the phone (if you do too well it will not unlock)
    • **think of other things that are unique to individuals**
  • Laptop Phone
    • shape of a retro laptop (big and chunky) but with none of the functionality of a laptop and just a phone.
    • put a raspberry pi in and take everything else out or put iOS on a laptop. (that would be super frustrating)
  • Eco Phone / Workout phone
    • no battery, only works while you are actively cranking it (like those crank flashlights that are supposed to charge by cranking but end up not holding a charge after a month and only work if you are cranking it)
  • Wallet Phone
    • Why not lose all your important things at once?
    • but how is this different than a case that you can put your credit cards in? how is it different from phone bag?
  • Cheaters Phone
    • Secret Messaging app – aka changing the icon for a particular messaging app to something else super boring.

    • embedded into a yoga mat
      • mat has speakers for chill music
      • a screen for watching youtube yoga videos
      • massager
      • heat and cooling technology
    • allowed you to keep up to date while doing yoga
    • or puts your message on hold while doing yoga and sends an away message as a response to any messages received
    • maybe doing certain poses in yoga unlocked functionality in the phone. like you can use the phone feature if you can do downward down for 1 minute, texting if you do warrior 1 correctly, and if you can do a headstand you can go on facebook
    • or maybe being in certain poses unlocks functionality. you can only use facebook when you are in tree pose. once you are out of tree pose you can no longer use facebook
  • Drone Phone
    • for when you cannot get service you can fly it to get reception (ie when you are in a restaurant and you need to move your phone closer to the door. or like in wild child with standing on top of the wardrobe to get service).
    • advantage of building your own = if you crash the drone phone, you do not kill your smart phone
    • maybe the drone has a built in sim card remover so you can switch the sim from your smartphone to your drone phone

  • Umbrella Phone
    • thoughts from Enchanting Your Home episode of innovation hub
    • you will always have your umbrella

  • Weather Phones
    • each phone can only be used in certain weather. you can leave the house with the wrong phone
    • tornado phone, hurricane phone, rain phone, cloudy phone, windy phone

  • Plant Phones
    • has solar panel on pot so when you charge your phone your plant gets light and grows
    • touch flowers to operate phone
    • use a flower that closes at night — it will not allow you to use it at night (oxalis)
    • cactus — deals with mobile phone addiction because you have to prick your fingers to text.
      • or ivy because it wraps you up in it
      • or flowers because they are superficial
      • or dandelion because it spreads its seed everywhere
    • pilea pepermoioidea – this plant already looks like it has buttons
    • fly catcher — inside the mouth is the send button. so once it closes you have to wait a while before you can send a message again
    • each plant  could be a different phone and call each other –> a plant network
    • Jailbroken phones could be the receivers of the messages sent from the plant phones. like one plant and one jailbroken phone are linked through messages and also thematically. The phones are in main exhibition space. but the plants are spread out through out the museum in different rooms.
