Mobile Embodiments: PrivacyFan

Privacy Fan is a fashion accessory for females that care to the personal privacy. The object is based on a fan, which is made with acoustic-absorbing materials and that contains a microphone and a speaker. The accessory can be used to communicate avoiding both to be listened by other people and to disturb them. Furthermore the fan hides the lips. Colors and lights coming out from the fan represent the incoming call.
The accessory is a Bluetooth-enabled device which is connected to the mobile phone. The answering action can be carried out by opening and shaking it while the stop call is accomplished by closing the fan. To establish a call, it is enough to spell the name of the desired person in order to activate the spell-recognition system on the phone.
