Ubiquitous Web Day — 15 May 2007
As the web reaches further into our lives, we will consider the increasing ubiquity of connectivity, what it means for real world objects to connect to the web, and the increasing blurring of the lines between virtual worlds and our own.
This day will be of interest to anybody working in technology around mobile devices, RFID, ultra-wideband, Second Life, location-aware services, Google Earth and similar topics.
To register for the Ubiquitous Web Day, you can either register for a conference Gold Pass, or register solely for the Ubiquitous Web Day. Registration fees and online form.
