Tagging stuffed birds

As augmented reality is coming up (as Jelke explained earlier), so is RFID. For those not familiar with this term, RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. A RFID chip can be read by a RFID reader which evokes a two way exchange of information from a distance of 50 to 100 meters. By using RFID tags all kinds of units can be identified without physical contact. The best known example in the Netherlands nowadays is the OV-chipkaart, used for public transport. Another very practical example is the RFID business card (Poken). RFID tags can increase the efficiency of the distribution of consumer products too. Not only can a tray of diapers be recognized immediately by a RFID reader, it shows which supermarket this tray is heading to.
