An RFID World: Can You See It? We can now imagine a world where intelligent objects exist,
and can think and interact with people in a synchronized way. RFID or Radio Frequency
Identification technology is the foundation for enabling this vision. RFID tags can enable
an object to uniquely identify itself, anywhere, instantly, and describe its conditions
via the internet. The conditions are A robust infrastructure, responding in real-time to RFID events, can make an experience feel synchronized. The synchronization of events and responses begins to approximate real-world interactions. Intelligent and informed decisions can be made in real-time. We are on the frontier of an era where we will see an explosion of networked devices and objects. The objects being networked will be truly diverse and global. We have to create the value-adding software to complement the proliferation of networked objects and devices… …to create the intelligent interaction. The programming logic may or may not exist today in our current software applications. It is incumbent on us to identify those existing interactions as well as envision new interactions of objects that could be enabled by this technology and develop the next generation of software. As the world of business begins to leverage the internet of RFID-enabled objects, creation and support for open standards are necessary to drive the global interoperability required for ultimate success. However, the use of RFID-enabled objects is not limited to the business context. We must consider the full realm of commercial and non-commercial applications of this technology and incorporate these scenarios into the emerging standard. …Can you see it?
