WIMA & NFC

If you want to see what I was doing last week, check out this video from Le Podcast. It's your average trade show stuff, but does have a couple of interesting talking heads (none of which is me, happily enough).

However, there was one demo which quite floored me, having pretty much seen everything in the NFC circles in the past few years. The Touch&Interact-demo from the University of Lancaster uses the mobile phone together with a Google Maps display to navigate, provide information, select, and do all sorts of other interesting stuff. The video is not as cool as seeing it in real life, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

It's a nice example of how the physical can interact with the virtual.
