Dialrhea is a unique device created during the “Internet Of Shit” hackathon in Lithuania, repurposing a rotary phone to control the game Doom via Bluetooth. The hackathon focused on building completely useless but fully functional devices, with Dialrhea winning awards for the “Least Shitty project” and the “Public Prize.” The device also appeared at various events, including a music festival. Technical challenges included implementing rotary dial functionality and ensuring stable Bluetooth communication. The full source code is available for those interested. Dialrhea offers modes for playing Doom, sending emojis, and dialing numbers, with potential for further development.
