An AHO research project on what designers should do with NFC. Touch a phone to a tag, the tag answers, something happens. A phone call, an SMS, a URL. Funded by the Research Council of Norway, running since March 2006 with a project weblog at nearfield.org.

A February 2005 note that became the start of a longer-running photographic project. In the way Victor Lombardi was collecting images of cardreaders, I was starting to collect images of touch-based interfaces like the Oyster card and other ‘touchable’ interfaces on public transport.
