Abstract;Most of the IT services offered to date have provided an image-based communication platform. We have now endowed ultrasmall sensors and actuators with short-range wireless communication capability and developed devices that can be attached to all sorts of everyday things, embedded in the environment, or even worn. We have investigated some of the potential applications made possible by communication between people and all sorts of objects. This article presents an overview of Voice Ubique, an ultrasmall audio receiver that has a tiny dynamic speaker for the actuator and uses infrared waves for short-range wireless communication.
