Tikitag: Connection between online and offline world

Filed in archive Implementation , Information About on September 10, 2008

You need a Tikitag? The unusual name must have aroused your curiosity till now. Tikitag (weird but certainly a cute name) implements RFID technology to create a connection between offline devices and the online world. You can place these tags with information on certain products such as business cards or toys and use Tikitag readers for reading the information and offering additional information related to it. You could even use your NFC phones for buying movie tickets or fast food using Tikitag.

Looks like a clean idea but one major obstacle is the lack of phones supporting it would make it tough for it to march ahead. Did I mention you will need a USB device to make it work? Let see how far this concept goes because ideas like these have been floating around for quite some time. The Tikitag service will be launched in the month of October carrying a price tag of $49.95.
