Our favorite new iPhone hack, the duiPhone, will let you know for sure whether you should hand the car keys to a friend after a long night in the bar…

Once you blow into the mouthpiece, the application will determine your blood alcohol level – either telling you you’re good to go, or that you should consider calling a cab.

We built this from a store-bought-and-hacked breathalyzer attached to a 3G iPhone – our first experiment with Tellart’s newest Sketchtool: NADA Mobile.

Yes, this video was taken at our office. Yes, those are real 40s on the table.

No, Jasper was not allowed to drive home.
(no Tellart employees were harmed during the filming of this video.  Photos after the jump.)

[ed: Yes, the video shows an iPod Touch--which is a lot less expensive to test with than an iPhone--but the demo runs over WiFi and works on any device running iPhone OS]

    Except that’s not an iPhone at all, in fact, it’s an iPod Touch. Hmmm Call a cab? Don’t think so.

  9. 22/11/2008Jasper Speicher says:

    David is right–the prototype seen in the documentation here was a touch. However the app has been run on an iphone as well; and in that case, the call button does work. The way our development process works, it makes sense sometimes for us to test things out on the touch before putting them on our phones.

    [...] Duiphone è un’applicazione lanciata per l’Iphone che permette alle persone di fare il test alcolometrico direttamente dal proprio cellulare, purchè sia un iphone appunto. La cosa desta senz’altro curiosità in quanto abbina un reale beneficio (il valore del test) ad una esecuzione più empatica,  personale, discreta e informale (non è un poliziotto che mi impone il test ma la mia volontà). L’idea è potenzialmente così forte che potrebbre aprire una strada innovativa alla diffusione di un comportamento responsabile tra i giovani, più forte di mille comunicazioni. [...]
