In the last two weeks I’ve seen three documentaries dealing with communication and networks. Firstly, a broad and ambitious film from Ericsson, taking on the ‘networked society’ including interviews with David Weinberger, Catarina Fake and Eric Wahlforss. Each of the interviewees discusses the emerging opportunities being enabled by technology as we enter the Networked Society. [...]

CCD and computational photography
A few links on imaging and computation: I’ve concluded that the promise of RFID was eclipsed by another technology out there that’s poised to become more and more disruptive, not only to RFID, but to a host of technologies, and that’s the CCD. from CCD by Joe Gregorio. Via BERG. Cameras might allow a photographer [...]

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 [...]

Touch
Early in 2005 I drafted a project together with the Oslo School of Architecture & Design that was designed to look at Near Field Communication (NFC) with an interaction design and user-centred perspective. In December 2005 the project was funded in full by the Research Council of Norway. So since March 2006 we have been setting up the project and conducting preliminary exploratory research work. You can see our ongoing process on the project weblog (and pick up the RSS feed too).

Sound objects
Mikael Fernstr�m gave a lecture at AHO on sound objects this week. His work at IDC 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’.
