Urban Game Deploys RFID to light up Christmas Trees

Filed in archive Implementation on November 20, 2007

I have been a gaming freak since childhood and don't miss any opportunity if given a chance to try my hands at some new game. I just came across this game called NORDLICHT BLITZ PLAY and was about to dismiss it as just another game but it caught my attention since it was using RFID.




This is an urban game reading its boundaries from RF transmitters around the town and cell phones with receivers being carried by game freaks. The data received by the devices leads to sounds being emitted which are played on customized Nintendo DS gaming systems besides ultra bright LEDs getting illuminated from utility belt of every player. Nothing better than using RFID to light up Christmas tree badges this festival season. Definitely a nice way to utilize technology around!!
