Nokia releases 'point and find' technology
Location, location, location. At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Nokia Executive Vice President Anssi Vanjoki outlined his company's vision for the future of mobile computers based on its new map-based user interface. Vanjoki predicts that in the near future, people will no longer ask, "Where are you?" and your cell phone will reveal everything about your surroundings.
Sound effect
Speaker: It is all about location. It's about social location. We have released a very exciting, new application on it's beta face, point and find, where just by pointing a cell phone, taking a picture will actually give you information about the object that you took the picture of. Thinking about the databases that are formed based on co-ordinates in the world, and the GPS location that we have on a device and an electronic compass in the same device will allow people to, just standing somewhere, use their own co-ordinate and the direction of the phone to indicate places, marrying reality with virtuality. For this, we need a completely new device. It's not a cell phone. Actually, it is a mobile computer. At the end, the user interface of such a computer becomes a map, a map that is not stationary. A map that is alive. A map that actually by zooming and panning, gives you the picture of everything on this planet, everything that you have an interest in, all your relationships. All this needs to happen in the way that the consumer is going to stay in control of all of his information all the time, and that's how we are building it. But just imagine the map. Everything on the map, and this here, in the picture, shows it like it is today. But when we just touch it, it changes. And it gives you the exact social location. Where you are. What's going on, and what is the true context of where you are. And that can be done for all and everything because they will all be there in the web. This will correctly create the next generation of web. Nokia is going to be a major contributor and player in enabling this new world to happen, just like we did during the 1990s, when telecommunications became mobile, and we started to call persons instead of buildings. Now we will be living in the media. We will extend our souls, our being, into the network. And in this way, the very first life gets richer. But all this needs quite intelligent new devices, and I would like to close my presentation by giving you a glimpse of what kind of devices we will be seeing that we'll all be wearing, moving to the future. So please, play the video.
