Tinker it now has a blog post that comes with this video explaining the intent: creating a software platform for museum to expand outside “kiosk interactivity”. This video uses an RFID tag, a wifi system and programs built for the iPhone.
I’m just imagining this idea linked to the previous video: a handheld that can act as information enhancement as well as exhibition controller.
this is good fun – can’t wait to see some of the possibilities this will open up, except that I see it limited to a very select audience right now.Hopefully we’ll also see people turn to older ‘dying’ technology and interfaces in conjunction with this new found goodness.
this is really amazing, will show it to museum worker friends, it will be very useful for countless applications.
hello I’m the author of the original blog post.thanks for publishing it…we’re working on a very exciting new platform for interactive museums and this is just the very first demo we releasethanks
Massimo, the response I’ve been getting about this video has been amazing. So many people are truly impressed. Keep up the good work.
