Disney Research uses RFID tags to make ordinary objects smart | The Verge

Researchers from Disney Research, Carnegie Mellon, and MIT have figured out a way to increase the speed and accuracy of tracking wireless, battery-less RFID tags. They’ve used the discovery to create a bunch of cool, interactive objects that don’t need a power source, including wireless pong controllers, an interactive wood-block tic-tac-toe game, and an unpowered music synthesizer — all using a version of the tech inside Disney’s RFID-powered MagicBands.
