Modern-Day Steampunk: The Rotary Dial Cellphone
- 4 years ago
Steampunk artist Justine Haupt designed a basic, less-distracting alternative to modern-day smartphones.
Geek.com reports Haupt wanted to boost her personal productivity. But she didn't just slide her phone into a paper envelope.
Instead, Haupt hacked her phone to bits and built it into something old-school and new all at once.
She repurposed a dial from a Western Electric Trimline telephone, and created custom circuit boards for the old interface to talk to the modern chips.
