SXSW Interactive 2013
Sexy Things: How to See, Touch or Talk to Them
Description:
In our increasingly connected and mobile world, a plethora of new technologies allow for interacting with everyday objects through mobile devices. In this panel, we’ll look at these different ways for interacting with everyday objects, starting from image recogntion (such as barcode, receipt or credit card scanning) to radio-based technologies (such as NFC/RFID) to voice recognition.We will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each of these technologies and how they are suited to enabling different use cases and business models (in m-marketing, m-commerce, m-payment and even arts). Finally, we will explore how this natural gateway to an emerging Web of Things changes our relationship with the world around us.
