Kevin Noki's ADHD ONE: 3D-Printed Brick Phone for Digital Detox
Kevin Noki, a designer from Cologne, has introduced ADHD ONE, a Bluetooth-enabled handset inspired by the brick phones of the 1980s, designed solely for making calls with an iPhone. This Anti Distraction Handset Device showcases a tactile keypad, a small display, and a robust form factor. It incorporates an FSC-BT1026C Bluetooth module paired with Qualcomm's QCC3024 chip, along with a Raspberry Pi Pico, an OLED display, a microphone, a speaker, and a rechargeable lithium battery. Noki crafted the enclosure using Autodesk Fusion. Featuring a 19-key keypad, the device allows for personalized speaker grilles and antennas. While digital construction files are accessible on Noki's website, they do not include physical components or editable files. ADHD ONE is intended to simplify digital interactions by restricting usage to phone calls, rather than replacing a smartphone.
