IL MIO®

Product / NFC + digital record

The physical object opens the digital layer.

The product concept pairs an NFC tag embedded in a physical item with a digital record that can hold product context and ownership history.

One tap, three parts

Near-field tagA compatible phone reads a tag associated with the item.
Digital recordThe tag points to product information and a record linked to an item identifier.
Ownership entryThe described system allows a holder to initiate a transfer to another holder.

Designed around the handover

IL MIO World’s public materials describe the idea in relation to product discovery, customer engagement and resale. The essential interaction is not a screen full of features: it is a readable connection between a physical item and its digital context.

Product contexts

  • Product information available at the point of contact
