Nokia Conversations posted today about a new app by Nokia Research called “Nokia Hello” that will use NFC to help folks in multilingual enviroments communicate using their NFC-enabled smartphones.
According to the blog post:
Using the NFC (Near-Field Communications) chips embedded in recent and upcoming devices such as the Nokia C7, users can touch phones briefly in order to exchange a range of greetings such as ‘Good morning’, ‘Good afternoon’ and even to pass on tea and coffee preferences.
The team working on the project estimate that the need for speech interactions with work colleagues could be eliminated entirely by 2015. Excellent news for those working in multilingual environments or who despise their workmates.
Near Field Communication works through magnetic induction. The two devices can sense each other at distances up to 20cm.
The app will be available ‘soon’ apparently. Seem’s like a really useful app, eh? More info over at the source below.
