Augmentia
Anselm lays out the emerging issues with Augmented Reality (AR). In doing so he relates it to a whole host of known and unknown problems associated with ubiquitous computing, semantic publishing and data platforms.
Below are some clippings of bits that seem particularly insightful:
It puts own embodiment at risk. And whomsoever can mitigate that risk while [...]

Augmented reality experiments
A year ago, Even and I played around for an afternoon with ARtoolkit, an open-source application for handling Augmented Reality objects: physical markings that when processed through a video camera can be augmented with 3D digital objects.

The address book desk
For the last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with tagging personal space with NFC. This started by embedding RFID tags in my desk, to use it as an information surface for contacts, SMSes and links.

Nokia 3220 with NFC
Thanks to Matt and Nokia I've had a prototype 3220 NFC shell on loan for a few weeks. It's the second Nokia phone to feature an RFID reader and writer for 'Near Field Communication' the technology that I've been getting excited about for mobile services, stickering and touch.

Design Engaged 2005
Here are my raw notes from the three days of excellent conversation, urban exploration and brainstorming of Design Engaged 2005.

Embodied interaction in music
!/images/embodied_music_cover.jpg(read more)!:http://www.elasticspace.com/2005/04/embodied-interaction-music
Over Easter I sketched out some ideas for navigating music on a portable player. I was frustrated with the iPod clickwheel, thinking about reducing the reliance on visual interfaces and how navigating music has a lot to do with language. I wanted to explore richer interfaces that combine movement, language and vision.
Tangible and social interaction
!http://www.elasticspace.com/images/pictochat.jpg(read more)!:http://www.elasticspace.com/2005/03/tangible-and-social-interaction
On the 12th January 2005 I gave two lectures here in Oslo on the theme of tangible and social interaction. The "presentation":http://www.elasticspace.com/presentations/tangible_social_jan05.pdf is a 1.9mb pdf, and my notes are below. I'm posting this in response to "Matt Jones'":http://blackbeltjones.typepad.com/work/ and "Chris Heathcote's":http://www.anti-mega.com/antimega/ "presentation":http://www.anti-mega.com/antimega/archives/001195.html at ETech ("notes":http://crystaltips.typepad.com/wonderland/2005/03/tangible_comput.html), which covers a lot of the same ground.

Sound objects
"Mikael Fernstrm":http://www.idc.ul.ie/mikael/ gave a lecture at "AHO":http://www.aho.no/ on sound objects this week. His work at "IDC":http://www.idc.ul.ie/ focuses on sound in ubiquitous computing, an area that is relatively unexplored in interaction design.

Photos of touch-based interfaces
In the way that Victor Lombardi is collecting images of cardreaders, I am beginning to collect images of touch-based interfaces like the Oyster card and other 'touchable' interfaces on public transport. If you want to contribute, tag your photos with 'touchinterface'.

Spatial memory at Design Engaged 2004
Here is my presentation [pdf] and presentation notes from Design Engaged 2004. Lots of pretty pictures of stickers, tags, flyposting and such. I will chip in with Dan, Adam, Matt, Molly and Fabio to say that this has been the conference highlight of the year.

Physical computing workshop
Making sense, a physical computing workshop at Atelier Nord took place from 22 – 25 September 2004. Have a look at my images at Flickr.
