RFID application
As a visitor at a Mediamatic exhibition you receive an ikTag with an (RFID) chip. The chip in this tag is linked to your profile on Mediamatic.net. With the ikTag you activate the ikCam. After the picture is taken, your portrait is immediately uploaded to your profile.
The ikCam is also very good for making contact with other people. The ikCam takes a group portrait when lots of people activate their ikTag together. It also links everyone on the social network site. This makes it easy to reconnect with your new friends online.
Examples
The ikCam has been used successfully at several exhibitions and events. It is always present at the exhibitions of Mediamatic. But the ikCam also visits PICNIC every year, and was a great addition to the Kom je Ook? conference and at Estafette by Netwerk CS.
The ikCam is a Mediamatic Atelier project. If you're interested in employing the ikCam at your own events, please contact Mediamatic LAB.
