A Japanese company called “Uchida Yoko” plans on selling this “Projection Table” doohickey which employs small acrylic cubes and RFID to bring a new kind of museum experience. It may cost some 9 million yen, but hey, it’s bizarre Japanese technology. The Projection Table is for displaying contents read from RFID tags inside of the acrylic cubes. For example, if you were to place the cube for “transistor” on the reader in the table, it would begin displaying information about the transistor. Yeah, it sounds extremely simple in concept, but RFID should allow this to be employed in other (more interesting) situations.
