Are you bored with board meetings?
Care to see what's happening with our board instead? Who's touching what and when?

Skip the pin!
Motorola has introduce their new skip concept. Quite a nice idea - simple but effective. They have embedded an NFC component inside a smal clip. This clip can then be snapped on to your clothes or pen (in the picture they use a children's crayon ;) ) or book or wallet or what have you. |
|
The "drawback" with this method is that you have to pick up your phone and put it close to the clip, the skip. (One can argue that this is actually an advantage - it implies a deliberate action.) Assume now we can actually connect by just touching instead - the essence of our project...

Some old news ...
Just to revive some old news from Linköping University. This article is an interview after Ericsson presented their work at the CES in Las Vegas and the MWC in Barcelona.
Ericsson's Connected Me Project
Our project started a few years back through Ericsson and their representative, Mr. Jan Hederén. He asked us how we could work together and develop a system where we communicate at a high speed through our body. The body will act as a cable and the target was to reach a communication speed close to HDTV standards, some 10 Mbps.
The projected started off with three brilliant master students: Dilip, Kiran, and Bibin, who took the specification and delivered a functional prototype within the 6-month project time.
