Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed element technologies ((1) distance sensing to adjacent nodes, (2) wireless communication, (3) node localization, (4) wireless power supply) for tangible user interface called iClay that embeds a number of mm-cubic wirelessly power-supplied sensor nodes with wireless communication capability into clay, as one of applications of small volume computing. Integrating the developed element technologies, we developed a tiny sensor node that integrates wireless power supply, wireless communication and distance sensing, and verified the functionalities by measuring the developed prototype. We are now developing iClay system integration.
