Abstract
Ubimedia is a concept where media files can be embedded
in everyday objects and the environment. The user can
access those files with his/her personal mobile phone
simply by touching the physical objects. This facilitates
easy access e.g. to video or audio files related to the
physical object in question. In parallel with the
technical development of the mobile phone platform and
the memory tags that will facilitate ubimedia in
practice, we have studied possible usages for ubimedia
and user acceptance of those usages. User acceptance has
been studied in a web survey and in user evaluations of a
proof-of-concept. In addition, an ethical assessment has
been carried out. The users appreciated especially the
simplicity, speed, low cost and reliability of ubimedia.
Concerns were related to control over the download with
regard to viruses and other unwanted content.
