Launch websites and applications with physical RFID icons
Filed in archive Implementation by gautam on May 8, 2008
Though you may not call it something really out of the box but John Park has tried to use RFID in a manner which would make it 'easier' for you to open websites or applications on your computer. John created a conveyor belt with RFID reader underneath it and used some wooden tiles with icon of the websites he intends to open. The conveyor belt has been created from junk VCRs and other useless stuff. Underneath the tiles he has fixed RFID tags with unique ID for each one.

As one places the wooden tile on the moving conveyor belt the reader transmits the particular ID to the computer which launches the website or any other application in a new tab on your system.

In the words of John Park:

I took the whole art of double-clicking on an icon and made it really complicated and brought it into the physical world

You surely made it a bit complicated John but I appreciate the fact that you tried to do something different with the technology.
