Project Dimo (Digital Mobilities), is an exercise being conducted to explore how people interact with their physical surroundings and how technology can enrich this experience. Wentworth Institute of Technology students have been working with a new electronic labeling product called Connexto which allows Sprint cell phone users to create "codes" that users can scan with their cell phones and that will link them to a file on the Internet. The file could be a web page, sound, picture, or video clip.
As part of the experiment, Wentworth students have been exploring the possibilities of reinventing Boston's historical Freedom Trail as we know it to include these codes and bits and bytes of file information. Some potential uses for this technology are being displayed on this web site and its containing pages.
