Touch research project

From the website of the Touch Research Project:

"Touch is a research project at the Interaction Design department at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, looking at user-centred applications for Near Field Communication (NFC).NFC is a technology that enables connections between mobile phones and real-world objects:bridging the gap between the real and the virtual.

NFC is interesting for us because it enables connections between mobile phones and real-world objects: bridging the gap between the real and the virtual. The project offers the possibility of radically simplifying existing applications and providing a new spectrum of local services through the mobile phone. At AHO we have multiple disciplines, including interaction design, industrial design, urbanism and architecture; a group with significant interest in the areas possibilities of NFC technology."

Perhaps worth keeping an eye on this touchy project?
