Touch » design research http://www.nearfield.org Interaction with RFID and NFC Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:38:14 +0000 en hourly 1 Nearness http://www.nearfield.org/2009/09/nearness http://www.nearfield.org/2009/09/nearness#comments Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:01:07 +0000 Timo http://www.nearfield.org/?p=1247 One of the essential properties of Near Field Communication is nearness, but this is set against one of the paradoxes of touch-based interaction where, in fact, nothing needs to touch. In a very short film made with BERG, we explore nearness in interactive technologies.

Hat tip towards The way things go, that Honda commercial and Pythagora Switch.

What is especially lovely is the way in which the images from our paper are carefully interpreted and annotated visually with notes and explanations. In many ways it communicates better than the original paper.

And on that note, Nicolas Nova also has a good writeup here.

Nordes is the Nordic Design Research Conference and this event brings together designers and researchers under the theme of “Engaging artefacts”.

Today has been spent setting up the exhibition space, which consists of three interactive installations that show various aspects of Touch design, innovation and research work including Anne Galloway’s Re/touch and many of the Touch design projects.
