iPhone as RFID Tag & Reader: Coming Soon

iPhone as RFID Tag and RFID Reader coming spring 2010!?

Posted on 14 January 2010 | Add Comment

RFID tags are more functional and flexible than barcodes. While barcodes are cheaper and getting traction in the U.S. with the QR format, the potential for RFID tags is even greater. Apple knows this and if rumors are to believed, RFID will be integrated into the iPhone 4G later this year.

According to a number of believable blog reports, RFID is set to be a part of the as yet unannounced iPhone 4G. Apple holds a patent for a touch screen RFID tag reader and is said to be testing an RFID-enabled iPhone currently. So RFID could be a feature of the iPhone 4G as soon as Spring 2010.

iPhone RFID: object-based media from timo on Vimeo.

2010 spring Imagine using RFID reading technology on books so you can place the iphone a certain way on the book and it knows what page you're on and how to show animations. So instead of placing the iphone on one fixed position, it can be placed anywhere on the page. That way it can function as all sorts of "windows" of animations.. Even look/search pages; Look for the little bunny, by moving the iphone on a page.. Can you see the opportunities? I can..

stroom trekken uit een wifi-signaal

Gespot op de CES210

Nog even en we laden onze telefoons op door ze gewoon in de burt van een wifi signaal te legggen. di tapparaatje doet het ook al. een nachtje in de buurt van een hotspot laat de accu van dit apparaatje helemaal op. Er zijn ook al ontwikkelingen bezig om de batterijen zelf al te voorzien van deze technologie

Experiments with tilt-shift, retro-look and google- maps

I did some test with the tilt-shift techniques en retro-actions and suddenly i'm using the google streetview images to make old postcards from. It's a great and rich database of milions of nice spots to make postcards from.. Just add "greetings from.." and your card is ready..
Its weird and cool at the same time to see modern interface elements (like the arrows and lines coming from the google streetview layer)

This could be a great service google-maps could privide it's viewers..That's what I think!

 

 

 

 

Bioscoop in je broekzak met de ShoWWX Pico projector en een iPhone

op de CES 2010. Weer een pico projector maar deze is sterker.

Microvision heeft op de CES een compacte videoprojector geïntroduceerd waarmee je video bestanden vanaf je iPod, iPod touch of iPhone op een muur kan projecteren. Het idee is niet nieuw en vorig jaar zagen we op de CES ook al bedrijven die projectoren voor de iPhone lanceerden. Probleem was alleen dat de lichtopbrengst van die projectoren minimaal was waardoor er alleen iets te zien was in een geheel verduisterde ruimte.


je kunt dus ook presentaties doen..dat scheelt weer gesleep met de beamers.

Bioscoop in je broekzak met de ShoWWX Pico projector en een iPhone

De ShoWWX Pico projector is niet alleen op de iPod, iPod touch en iPhone ook aan te sluiten maar ook op een Macbook (Pro) of een PC. Microvision heeft nog geen dealer in Nederland of België maar is wel te koop vanaf maart voor $500 in de Verenigde Staten.

Orisinal heeft er weer een paar juweeltjes van games bij

zo simpel maar oh zo mooi.. de muziek en de heldere simeple spel principes doen het 'm.

Must see User experience videos

Smashing magazine has put together a list of must-see User-experience videos. It seemed a pretty imprtant list and its a long one. take your time. I'm sure it's worth it. they wrote: We’re all mostly accustomed to educating ourselves by reading articles. Rare are the opportunities to attend conferences or watch live shows on subjects that we’re interested in. That’s why we are presenting here phenomenal videos and related resources on the topic of user experience (UX) by different presenters at different events. We have focused on current content but have included some older videos that are still relevant. It will take you more than 16 hours to watch all of these videos. So, make some popcorn, turn off the lights and enjoy.

Microsoft en sensors

Gelezen op engadget: Microsoft Research patents controller-free computer input via EMG muscle sensors


We've seen plenty of far-fetched EMG-based input methods, like the concentration-demanding, head-based NeuroSky controller, but Microsoft Research is asking for a patent that involves much simpler gestures -- and might actually make a bit of sense. As demonstrated in the video after the break, Microsoft's connecting EMG sensors to arm muscles and then detecting finger gestures based on the muscle movement picked up by those sensors. It does away for the need of a pesky camera (or Power Glove) to read complicated hand gestures, and can even sense modified versions of the gestures to be performed while your hands are full. Microsoft's developing a wireless EMG sensor module that could be placed all over the body, and while like all Microsoft Research projects this seems pretty far from market, there's a small, optimistic part of us that could see some of the benefits here for controlling mobile devices. And boy do we love controlling mobile devices.
