Shoogle - Find out what's in your cell phone by shaking it!

submitted by Spiff

1 decade 6 years 5 months 1 week ago

Shoogle is a technology for communicating a phone's (or other mobile device's) contents passively using touch and sound. Users can shake their phone to find out how many messages they have and who they are from, in the same way you might learn how many objects are in a jar from shaking it, or how much change is in your pocket from the way it jingles when you walk. It even lets you experience your battery life in the same way you experience how full a bottle is of water. Neat, say I.

I propose a new channel: *TUT (Totally Useless Technology)

Totally useless indeed, I can't imagine this being practical. But it gets my vote nonetheless

Useless yet awesome. Why should I have to move my eyes like a sucker when I can just shake my phone and listen for the jingling?

So, to check the battery status instead of looking with my eyes at 1 bars, 2 bars, 5 bars... I pick up my phone and shake it and count how many balls are bouncing around. Brilliant!!

Maybe instead of touching numbers on the screen, I can shake it once for "1" and nine times for "9". It will be like the old rotary phones. AWESOME!

the shaking to find out battery life would actually make sense to me

Oh, please, as if you've never shook something to see how many balls were there before.....
