Augmented Photoalbum Implementation for Cell-phone/PDA (S)

Status: Abgeschlossen

The objective of the semester project is to implement the existing augmented photo album for a Symbian OS cell-phone or PDA in a way that is appropriate for the limited capacity of the device.

The existing Augmented Photoalbum allows a user to get additional information and related photos while browsing through prints of his or her digital photos. The photo prints are tagged using Hitachi's RFID µ-chip to identify them and retrieve the meta-information about the photo, for example, the time, date or location the photo was taken. The multi-user capabilities allow the exchange of digital photos using the photo print as the user interface for the interaction.
