SixthSense: RFID-based Surveillance

[Microsoft TechFest 2008] Dr Venkat Padmanabhan from MSR Lab in Bangalore showed me a demo of this RFID-based Enterprise Intelligence application. Each object in an office has its passive RFID tag. When a person moves one object, the RFID antennas and the surveillance cameras detect it and a still image with a nametag of this object is stored in the application database. If an employee loose something in the office, it will be easy to retrieve it. This prototype does not show yet how the image catalog will be searched easily to locate the objects but we can imagine that will be a piece of cake for the MSR UI team :) Editor’s note: the last sentence is only my humorous assumption.
