Near Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging technology for mobile interaction with everyday objects and associated digital resources. Apart from simple interactions with single tags, NFC has the potential for more elaborate interactions with physical objects that comprise multiple tags and serve as physical user interfaces (UI). This paper investigates the design of mobile and physical UIs for the interaction with multiple NFC-tags. It focuses on three basic interactions that qualify for multi-tag interactionthe navigation between parts of an application, the selection of items and the combination of items. Two user studies compare different configurations of mobile and physical UIs for these interactions in order to evaluate the allocation of application features and UI elements to mobile devices and tagged objects. The results advocate the continuous interaction on the latter, instead of splitting interactions between mobile and physical UIs.

Abstract. Discovering and integrating ambient computational resources is a central topic in AmI. There are two major existing approaches: indirect network-based resource selection and direct tag-based resource identification. We motivate the need to integrate the two approaches through a scenario. We then present an architecture for a pluggable discovery system called UbiDisco. We demonstrate how UbiDisco implements a seamless integration of the two approaches at user interaction level through a framework for implementing discovery actions.

“…Next to the technical feasibility of NFC/RFID-based mobile interactions, several studies have explored their usability and accessibility: O'Neill et al [9] have compared NFC with twodimensional barcodes and investigated the users' adoption of NFC in their daily lives. They showed that although untrained users were faster using the barcodes, trained users could significantly improve their performance with the NFC-tags.…”

NFC and RFID technologies have found their way into current mobile phones and research has presented a variety of applications using NFC/RFID tags for interaction between physical objects and mobile devices. Since this type of interaction is widely novel for most users, there is a considerable initial inhibition threshold for them. In order to get novice users started with this physical interaction and its applications, we have designed different ways to increase the learnability and guidance of such applications. Their effectiveness was evaluated in a qualitative and quantitative user study with 40 participants, who interacted with NFC-equipped posters in different ways. We report on the types of usage errors observed and show that future designs of NFC/RFID-based mobile applications should consider using a dedicated start-tag for interaction.
