UbiComp Highlights from coin-operated
coin-operated is reporting back from UbiComp, the Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing, held in Nottingham, England. [reblogged from near near future]
Some hightlights related to cell phones, localisation and camera phones:
-- "Andrew Wilson spoke on what will happen when mobile phones gain a sense of smell, as smells indicate presence, identity, territory and tell stories."
-- "Katrina Jungnickel spoke on her “73 Urban Journeys” project that consists of a website allowing people to upload candid stories from bus trips around the world."
-- "Anita Wilhelm spoke on her project, “ZOOKE”, which is a camera phone based challenge game that has been replicated in many different projects recently".
-- "Other projects discussed by Michelle Kasperzak included “Elephants Paths” from Latvia that maps tracks people take off of the standard routes".
-- "Amsterdam Real Time” plots a map of amsterdam from people's daily movements through the city".
-- "Above, “CitiTag”, a mixed reality game that attempts to bring “freeze tag” into the digital age through a location-based system".
