MobSpray: A Mobile Radicals Project

mb.jpg MobSpray is a system using mobile phones coupled with RFID tags to create a system that allows creative expression in the urban landscape but without the physical side-effects.

How does it work?

Writers’ tags are deposited, and collected, from a database operating on a central server using a GPRS connection initiated by a Java application on a Nokia 5140 with an in-built RFID reader. These tags are currently displayed on the writers phone but the system is being evolved so that they can be projected on walls in urban landscapes.
