NFC Forum Announces Winners of Touching the Future Global CompetitionThe NFC Forum, a non-profit industry association that advances the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, today announced the winners of its Touching the Future: NFC Forum Global Competition.
The first-place winner in the Commercial Track is VingCard Elsafe of Norway for its "Signature RFID by VingCard - Electronic Lock for Hotels."
This solution enables hotel guests with NFC-enabled mobile phones to completely bypass the check-in process and unlock their hotel room doors using their phones.
The first-place winner in the Research Track is Lancaster University of the UK for "Touch & Interact: Applied to a Tourist Guide Prototype."
This project uses NFC technology to allow mobile phone handsets and public information screens to share display space, thereby overcoming the screen size limitations of mobile phone displays.
"We congratulate VingCard and Lancaster University for prevailing against dozens of very competitive solutions submitted this year," said Gerhard Romen, NFC Forum vice chairman.
"Both winning submissions demonstrate how effective NFC technology can be in supporting creative, yet simple and elegant, solutions to real-world problems - from unlocking hotel doors to enhancing users' interactions with their mobile phones."
