Nokia Instant Community Enables Hyper-Local Social Networking

Nokia Instant Community Enables Hyper-Local Social Networking

By Naresh Kumar on June 1, 2010

Nokia Instant Community provides an instant way for communities to socially interact when in close proximity, without the need for Internet service. The technology, still in the research stage, and being developed by the Nokia Research Center and Tampere University of Technology, uses the device’s ad hoc wifi to connect with several devices across a location. The application could be used to chat, share pictures, songs and contact information with those nearby.

Here’s a video of Nokia researchers giving a full rundown of the platform:
