mediamatic like RFID

From telling you whether you are a cow, deer or wolf, dependent on what words you have put on your profile, to the ik tag which lets you post pictures to your profile whilst at an exhibition without all that annoying logging on typing, mediamatic love RFID.



The ik tag is specially designed for exhibitions, allowing the user to access their social network account without actually having to use a computer in the traditional sense (typing stuff in).

play: part two - Hybrid Toys!

in part two of my little adventure into the world of playing, i am going to look at hybrid toys - hacking stuff to make it fun, in a computery interactive way.



This is a musical pot, by the good people at mediamatic. Inside each flower there is a RFID tag, which controls the pitch the pot resonates, while the big flower has a wii remote inside it which controls the tempo.



This little horsey will spout a recorded message while there is a light source. when it goes dark it shuts up.


I think i need to get some toys in and play around myself.... and some more arduino boards and some RFID tags and nick a wii remote and and and...
