RFID tags + iPhone = everyday things that turn into DSTV
Posted on 15. Apr, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Technology
RFID tags and cellphones are two concepts that wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Buck Rogers – so we can rest assured that they belong in the future. Now some clever dick has married the two together to create a possible situation where everyday objects magically transform into media channels.
Imagine a bottle of Bushmills having a video clip readily available for you to watch on your phone the minute you came close to it in a bottle store or under a pile of blankets in the kids nursery. Augmented reality media is on it's way, but it'll be a while before the mass of ideas and concepts starts to settle down. This example is however a great one.
