Descripción
Sumario:In a given environment, distributing different devices with computing capabilities around us opens up new possibilities. It allows simple and easy interaction between user and computer. In this work we propose an approach to make it easier to handle information in the educational context and to do so we have adapted Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, which provides a simple input to the system. The user only has to bring his/her mobile phone, equipped with a radiofrequency reader, near to a tag, obtaining services like localization, access, or presence. Most importantly for us, we present the visualization of information in what we have called a “Visualization Mosaic”.
