ikCam

How does the ikCam work?

Connecting the ikCam to an Anymeta site is easy and enables interaction between an event and social network sites.

Activate the ikCam with your RFID tag. Your ikTag for example, OV chip card, or OBA library pass. The RFID chip in your ikTag, chip card or pass is linked to your profile on the social network. You didn't register? No problem, you can do this at the ikCam.

Hold your RFID tag against the designated area on the monitor. Your name appears on the screen and you have five seconds to strike your best (or worst) pose before picture will be taken. The picture will be directly uploaded to your profile.

Physical “I like it” button

What if you are at a presentation, installation or another program segment and you think: “I like this!”. Well, then connect your profile to Facebook by pushing the “Facebook Connect” button on the touchscreen. Doing this turns your RFID tag into a physical “I like it” button. Scan your RFID tag in front of the Facebook thumbs up belonging to the presentation, installation or program segment that you “like”. A notice will appear on your wall.

After you've connected your RFID tag to Facebook, all your ikCam pictures will be uploaded to your Facebook profile as well. You’re saving a lot of time telling your friends about all the cool things you’re experiencing at the event!

Group pictures?

Want to become friends? Connect your profiles by scanning your RFID tags and take a picture together. They automatically connect on the social network. After the event, you can easily get back in touch with those you met.

Who is using the ikCam?

You will find ikCams at the Kom je ook? symposiums and in Mediamatic's exhibitions space. There were ikCams available at Eurosonic Noorderslag 2011, Picnic 2008 and the Estafette event by Netwerk CS offered ikCams as well.
