He never much cared for museums. “What’s the point of looking at the work of others?” Now we can find him there every week, in the Interactive Art section, creating his own abstract paintings. His creation is coming to life in real-time in her digital catalog, which, by the way, no longer contains labyrinthine floor plans. These days museums simply guide their guests to the next piece they are interested in using lights on the interactive floors.The boy in front of Rembrandt’s ‘Nachtwacht’ doesn’t even have a catalog. He just downloads information on Rembrandt’s life using the painting itself.

Audio Fingerprinting
Audio Fingerprinting technology allows to almost instantly identify music via a mobile phone by capturing only a few seconds of the audio and sending it to a service provider that matches the fragment to a database containing the identifying codes of a large number of songs. Within seconds, a message naming the song, the artist and other relevant information will appear on the user’s phone display.

Communication systems such as video-conferencing and speech recognition systems require hands-free operation. The large user distance to the microphone leads to acoustic echoes, noise and reverberation, and thus degrades the speech quality. Philips Research concentrates on suppressing these acoustic phenomena by developing adaptive digital signal-processing techniques.

The Electronic Ceramics group of the Philips Research Laboratories in Aachen, Germany has developed a new, miniaturized antenna for mobile communications. The Philips miniaturized antennas are about eight times smaller than conventional antennas but achieve the same performance. The development plays an essential role for future mobile telecoms applications, such as the wristwatch with a monitor-equipped telephone. In the past such applications were limited especially by the physical parameters of the antennas. The new miniature antennas could be brought to manufacturing standards thanks to the development of special hightech ceramics.
