Slashdot | World's Smallest RFID Reader Touted
Smart devices that digitally connect when touched together are closer to reality with this neat 2p sized RFID reader. However, whilst the tangible interface approach to touching objects is a clear one for requesting information, wider-scale longer-range RFID technologies are needed to allow us to capture more environmental and ambient information in a way that augments our physical environment with seamless access to relevant digitial information. The current setup being installed in the ed-tech research lab will allow us to trial different rfid and other location and environmental data sources and sinks, to see how they can be integrated and used effectively.
