MyState

This shows the MyState concept in which users can augment any kind of object with Near Field Communication (NFC) tags, can write any social or contextual information on those tags using their mobile phones and can publish this information on a social networking site just by touching such a tag with their phone. The distinct features of MyState are A) the possibility to augment any personal or public object with any contextual or social information, B) the possibility that everybody can touch those tags in order to post the related information to a social networking site, C) the speed and convenience to publish information by a simple touch as users don't have to look at the mobile phone screen, inter-act with mobile phone menus or write any text when touch-ing an already deployed tag.
