A collaborative project between Antenna Lab, not-for-profit arts organization Sing London and the Research Center for Museums and Galleries (RCMG) at the University of Leicester, is leveraging Near Field Communication (NFC) and mobile technologies to enable nearly 40 statues in London to speak to visitors. Talking Statues is a research and development (R&D) project that uses NFC tags affixed to the underside of plaques that are then sealed into position on the statue or the ground, according to Sam Billington, the global interactive design manager with Antenna Lab's parent organization, Antenna International. The project is utilizing RapidNFC's 50x50mm Square Reverse Ultralight tags, Billington says. T

But with this broader use comes greater physical stresses and risks to the cards, according to a group consisting of Bundesdruckerei, Infineon Technologies and the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration. The trio conducted a two-year research initiative, known as SeManTik, that studied the use of eIDs and developed realistic test methods and simulation models, while also exploring new methods of integrating the chip into the card body.
