This exciting research is likely to become a reality 2 years from now. One example of this is a digital city guide, which we have named 'VIA', a concept that can be of great benefit to travellers and business people alike. This consists of a new, card sized cellular phone featuring a personal hotline and city navigation, which can be rented at a reasonable rate with an interface that is easy to use.

The i-tag, a combination of mue-chip technology and 'print -club' entertainment, enables you to store information and display images in a stamp-size format, taken by the i-tag instant camera. To transmit the i-tag content to your PC, just place the i-tag on the i-tag Reader/Writer.

Data is transmitted, through Blue Tooth opening a web site that allows you to download onto your PC, data and images related to your trip.

Our target was to create an instant personal digital object with new possibilities and values and a life cycle of 2 weeks. The city guide hardware can be updated regularly once it has been returned to the service provider.

This allows an interface which is both digital and tangible - a unique experience!
