In commercial environments there is a lot of information and services to be managed properly. In this case, users must interact with different environment objects in a explicit way. The main goal of this project is create an scenario for getting information and services in a natural and implicit way, through the mobile phone and NFC technology. We have identificate three scenarios:

Parking: In this situation, the system deploy several services such as: vehicle location, payment and voice instructions to park in free parking places.

Movie Theaters: Through Points of Information and dinamic movie listings, an user interacts with a specific object (with the NFC tag attached), for example a movie poster, and receive the trailer of the movie, information like synopsis and opinions, and even he can book tickets for a given session. Also, user can buy popcorns without queuing, only interacting with objects.
