Tinker.it just posted a few examples of their and others projects using RFID cards. Especially neat is the use of the, now ubiquitous in london, Oyster public transport card. We’ve thought about using the dutch version of the card (the ov chip kaart) for our projects as well. It might just be in the hands of enough people by now to become an interesting system to piggyback on.

Beyond RFID they are also doing some interesting things in the art space which neatly fit the latest Roomware project NARB; an online and mobile art guide with some roots in physical space as well.

Once inside, they were able to “tag” portfolio pieces from the 90 designers showcased that evening. A few days after the event, visitors would receive an email with some additional information and links to the portfolios of the works they had tagged.

@bruces,
streuth mate, we’ve noticed you mention a lot of different wares. Happy your’re able to check one off the list;) We’re an open source project of same name, about 3 years old now, that helps developers build applications using wireless protocols. You can check out some more about the project here. Here are a few half-recent projects we’ve made.

A whuffie inspired experiment at Impakt festival 2008

An symphony installation at FITC in Amsterdam.

This interesting installation called Wormhole in Dordrecht utilizes custom iPhone software and the GPS capabilities of the device to create a location based soundscape that people can experience walking around town.
