“Nearness” shows off RFID’s magical capabilities

Created by London design firm, Berg.

“The film Nearness explores interacting without touching.  With RFID [radio frequency identification] it’s proximity that matters, and actual contact isn’t necessary. Much of Timo’s work in the Touch project addresses the fictions and speculations in the technology.  Here we play with the problems of invisibility and the magic of being close.”

With RFID technologies being tested in upcoming products today, be prepared to be introduced to its useful and (what will become) practical means of “interacting without touching” in the near future.
