RFID Interface Cube - Tikitag application showcase contest

Since the Tikitag team has opened contest for users to showcase applications and uses of their Tikitag product. A perfect occasion to submit an easy way to get a quick and easy Tikitag demo project for those of you who just received their Tikitag starter pack and want to show off some : I give you Easy Tikitag Interface Cube ! Each side of this cube holds a different Tikitag and will trigger a different action on the user's computer.

This small project has been designed for people who have a hard time figuring out how to use use icons, keyboards, computer mice and need to regularly and easily access certain applications without much hassle. The first time the idea came up was when I was vacationing at my parents' and noticed my mother was still struggling with her computer because even after a few years it feels quite alien to her and, well, she won't bother learning how to use it correctly.

At the time, I was fiddling with affordable RFID technology (Tikitag as well as the Mir:ror from Violet) for other projects and thought she and others - older people, children who learn to use computers, or just straight geeks - could benefit from and enjoy such an intuitive interface as a more familiar physical object.

Step 1 Requirements

For this project, needed :

- Tikitag starter pack
- A working computer and an account on Tikitag server
- 12 business cards (those I use are 130mm by 87mm)

When you're done ripping the plastic wrap off the starter pack, firing up your computer and creating your Tikitag account, then you can move on to the next step !
