Mapion Local Search allows users of it's service the ability to point and click at real objects (buildings, shops, restaurants, banks, historical sites) and receive information about the object.

Here's a quote from their press release:

With Mapion Local Search, users can now walk down the street anywhere in Japan and point at over 700,000 objects such as buildings, shops, restaurants, banks, historical sites and instantly retrieve information on what they are looking at or find what they are looking for just by pointing their phone. Just like one uses a mouse to click on an object on a computer screen and retrieve information, now users can Click on the Real World using their mobile phone.
Mapion Local Search combines Mapion’s POI (Point of Interest) information on objects all over Japan (including map data) with GeoVector?’s pointing based technology and spatial search engine to give Japanese users the world’s first personal local search. According to Takehiko Murata, President of CyberMap? Japan “Mapion Japan is always searching for pioneering technologies to improve our user experience and incorporating GeoVector?’s technology allows us to give users an experience available nowhere else in the world and an advantage over our competitors.”

Weekly Research Assignments - Week 1

Posted on February 01, 2006 at 01:23 PM by sj695

WEEK 1 - Give Us a Run-Down of Any Text-Messaging App
e.g. [Google SMS], [dodgeball], [Yellow Arrow], [American Idol polling], etc


AOL Instant Messenger

I kept seeing that little icon in the main menu of my phone, AIM (Aol instant messenger). Paranoid that this was going to be one of those really expensive surprises on bill I ignored it, so for UbiComp? I decided to give it a try.

Once I submitted my AIM login information I was able to see a list of AIM friends along with who's on and who's not. I selected a friend from the list typed a message (which is quite difficult with a number pad) and sent it. A few moments later I received a reply and after sending messages back and forth a few times I decided to log off and continue the conversation on my laptop (I was still a little nervous about the billing).

I don't think AIM mobile will ever be used like its desktop version but it is handy when you need to reach someone when they may not be near their phone but busy online.
