Today Are Nielsen showed us his work about merging electronic devices and everyday objects. He presented 
several experiments where he used for instace a coffecup, 
a plate, a pillow or a flyswatter to navigate and control 
screenbased games. He did this by assemble different 
sensors to the objects, like tilting sensors, acceleration 
sensors or various buttons.  He talked about how some 
of the tested everyday objects fit this project more than 
others. Some are quite intuitive and easy to use because
everybody use themin the same manner. Other objects
invite to many ways ofholding or handle it, and confusion
occur.
It was also interesting to hear about Ezmo.com, the place
Are works. Ezmo is a web-based service where you can
upload and store all you music files and then stream your
own music from any computer. You are also able to share
music within a limited group of friends.
