Idea: Star Trek Communicator

[wassabi]

Got the idea in my head after I finished watching all seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager for the second time that it may be possible to create a functional comm badge. It would function as a bluetooth headset of sorts for a cellphone. Their are plenty of micro sized bluetooth headsets, but they only work when close to your ear.

I see three different ways to implement this idea:

• First, take an existing micro headset pcb and add an amplifier.
• Second, there could be a wire from an ear phone to the comm badge, the mic and controls would be in the comm badge.
• Third, ditch the comm badge all together and go with a TOS communicator and use a bluetooth speaker phone module.

This is doable, in fact it's been done. There is a youtube user that sells them. He didn't want to share his circuit with me though. .... sigh
