Alex,

Nao e que trabalho com o Per agora? Ele se juntou ao nosso time essa semana. e ele ja me deu a mais recente versao do Sensor.

A outra coneccao e que trabalhei com per no antecendente do Sensor, fazendo um biz plan (que foi uma merda, mais nao por minha conta). Felizmente, sucediram com Sensor.

Thanks, Per. It’s all about “object-centered sociality” as well as network effects, isn’t it?

Yes, finding non-acquainted but like-mined community members in conferences and fairs has been of the leading use cases/benefits of the development of Nokia Sensor application.

Nokia Sensor application will have a simple ‘group code’ functionality which will allow users to agree on a code and then enter that code into their digital personal expression (In Sensor called ‘Folio’). Whenever you scan for other Sensor users nearby, you will become aware if their group code matches yours.

Of course, you can also discover like-minded people by just reading the content of their Folio.

Sensor will allow people to discover facts/interests/opinions about acquainted and non-acquainted people that is not possible to discover on the basis of their appearance. In this way, Sensor will give an advantage over the ‘old-fashioned way’ of face-to-face encounters that will change the ways in which we socialize, meet up with new people and interact with already acquainted ones.

But first it has to become common in public places such as Les Blog conference. And that is not an easy task.

Happy Sensoring!
