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.

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.
