Hyperlinks are a well understood and widely used
concept in many applications. Particularly the Web
has promoted the concept of "clickable" links to users.
Typically, hyperlinks are only used to interact with
applications and content in the "virtual" sphere of
information systems. However, the basic idea of a
hyperlink, which is creating an inviolable link between
two resources, can be extended to the physical world
as well and then allows a much closer and more
intuitive interaction with information systems in many
scenarios. We describe how RFID tags can be used to
implement physical hyperlinks that establish a direct
connection between a physical object and a mobile
information system. Any kind of mobile, object-centered
information system, such as the PDA-based
visitor information system for museums MoVIS
presented in this paper, provides a richer experience
for users when it is extended into the physical world
with physical hyperlinks.
