Remember Me: RFID Tags attach stories to charity store items

I have a bit of an obsession with RFID tags at the moment, I love the idea of tying together real-world objects and technology in order to open up a whole world of ideas and stories.


Here's a great example of how it can be used by Oxfam:


People donating items at an Oxfam store in Manchester were asked to tell a story about one or more of their specific objects into a microphone, including when and where they acquired it and any personal stories associated with it.
These clips were then linked to an RFID tag and QR code and the items were tagged with the story and added to the shop's stock.
Shoppers then used their smart phone or a bespoke RFID reader to listen to the stories through speakers in the shop, and were invited to purchase the story-tagged objects.
