Sony Ericsson Demos A Tree That Tweets

Sony Ericsson is showcasing a Tweeting Tree at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The demonstration is an attempt to prove that Sony Ericsson is gearing up for the next age of connectivity aka Internet of Things, that would enable things to communicate with each other and with humans.

The tree is connected to a device that turns it into an electromagnetic field sensor – which enables the tree to detect motion. This motion data is then processed by an analysis engine, which communicates the Tree’s reactions to Twitter.
