Info

American hotels are equipped to allow a mother on a business trip to eat together with the husband and children at the house, making the co-presence through systems of video conferencing on a computer and with the possibility of ordering, through Internet, the same pizza in the same chain of home delivered pizzas. The orders will be sorted automatically in such as way that the pizzas are delivered in a synchronous manner and the whole family can eat together. Also interesting are the evolutions of the systems and technologies that allow one to enjoy visualisation on the move, from the best screens for the mobile phones to the systems of visualisation through glasses or screens based on reflections of light. The systems of visualisation that use the lenses of glasses are interesting, as they stimulate applications of mixed reality, that is to say those in which the vision of the real world is superimposed, when needed, artificial images (as already happens in training pilots of planes). Screens based on the reflection of light, such as those that use e-Ink technology, have the characteristics of sheets of paper. That is to say, they take advantage of the light present in the environment to make information visible. If we try to use a portable computer on the beach, we will discover that the screen is practically illegible: the competition with sun light is too uneven. On the other hand, if we take a notebook and try to read it in a dark room: there is not sufficient light “to see”. With e-Ink we have on the screen the same characteristics as a sheet of paper, with an additional advantage of having images in movement. These new “books” open interesting prospectives: we obviously think of a text book to teach English. After a page of grammar it becomes natural to open up a conversation with a point of the earth in which one can interact with those who speak English, jumping perhaps from New Delhi to Adelaide to realise how that simple “Hello” is transformed according to the place. To learn is transformed according to the places. To learn therefore becomes an involving adventure, because it signifies testing ourselves with the world, and not only with a teacher. IDENTIFICATION AND LOCALISATION TECHNOLOGIES Over the years a variety of technologies have been adopted to allow the localisation and identification of objects and persons, with motivations which go from the increase of efficiency to safety. The technology family, which goes under the name of RFID tag (Radio Frequency Identification), should crowd out, substituting them, the bar codes used in the majority of cases. Not only. It should also permit the application to other categories of objects, such as, for example, information. There also exist other technologies applicable in specific segments, for example, the labelling for fixed objects: in future it will be difficult to find an object that is not unequivocally identifiable. With the presence of a tag (label) in every object and the parallel presence of detectors of tags in a variety of devices, starting with mobile phones, an extremely interesting market is opened up, to which some attribute the name of Information Wrapping (Wrapped up with Information). In practice to each object that has a tag there corresponds an amount of information present on one or more sites, management by one or more organisations, which it is possible to access starting with the object itself. In Japan this technology is used to charge telephones with virtual money, leaning it upon an ATM machine and then using it, always in the same way, money, leaning the telephone on the cash machine at the desk of a supermarket. Another lot of technologies, important and very near that of identification, are that of localisation. Today we have systems of satellite localisation GPS (Global Positioning System), tracing through electronic boe that intercept special transpon- INDEX SCIENTIFIC STUDIES 137

In the near future we will improve the capacity for localisation through satellite systems (like Galileo) and the spreading of radio connections will provide san environment in which the localisation of objects becomes the norm.
