TraceEncounters and nTAGs







TraceEncounters and nTAGs

TraceEncounters and nTAGs 09/08/2004 05:25 AM

David Pescovitz: PinOnJacket_TraceEncounters is a social network technology that debuted at the Ars Electronica festival last week. One-thousand infrared-enabled stickpins were distributed to attendees. The pins "remembered" the unique identifier of every other pin that comes into range. When the wearer walked past a central display, his or her data was downloaded into a PC that generated a visualization of the entire network. Link (via Near Near Future)

TraceEncounters sounds like an extremely stripped-down nTAG, a digital namebadge that helps wearers at conferences identify what they have in common and build their social networks. My friends Rick Borovoy and George Eberstadt spun nTAG out of Rick's PhD research at the Media Lab. Link

Epidemiology and the nTag


Epidemiology and the nTag 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
strep "Strep throat sucks," says Simon Fell. I'll second that. If I seemed a bit out of focus at the several conferences I attended last week, or if you thought you should have heard from me over the last few days but didn't, that's why. Hopefully I didn't share any group A streptococci with folks I met along the way. When I opted out of wearing my nTag at the Digital ID show, the epidemiological application hadn't occurred to me! ...

Smart Badges For Better Meetings


Smart Badges For Better Meetings 11/13/2003 12:28 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "In an article to appear on November 15, the New Scientist tells us that the 500 attendants of the last Pop!Tech conference were carrying intelligent badges to put around their necks. EurekAlert! has released a preview of this article, "Hello, will you be my friend?" These nTAGs, distributed by the nTAG Interactive company, contained personal details about their wearers. And as the nTags can communicate with each other via infrared links, they are able to send alerts when they see a good match between two owners. This doesn't come up cheap: expect $40 to $100 per badge per day, depending on the event. More details and references are available on my blog which also includes pictures. "

Clone Computer Case Badges


Clone Computer Case Badges 12/05/2003 04:19 PM
They appear to be unlicensed, but these are very cool 35mm square clone computer case badges by CaseArts. I found them very hard to photograph in a way that somehow showed how nicely done they are. Each has an embossed copper insignia inside a bubble-dome with 3D effect. Whether you need them to dress up your computer case, or just want a cool looking Alliance or Imperial symbol to stick somewhere, at $2.99 each or 5 for $12, they are a steal. They might be available elsewhere, but I found them at Directron .com.

Wouldn' t it have been cool.

... if Tim Pozar had blogged all this stuff? I guess when you get this much ink (and pixels), it's cool enough.

It's scarey how much in paralell Tim's life is to mine. 

[IMG]Not only was I at many of these same events and conferences as he was, but I had a whole bunch of cool ones myself.  I lost all my badges, but well what the hell - who needs a stinking badge anyway - right?  Here are a few of my favs....

Can we talk about your new job yet Tim?
