[Air-l] capturing social interaction with RFID tags or other tech (was: re: RFID)

[M.B.Gaved]

Dear Reid (and other AoIR'ers)

do you have a contact for the conference organisers? (re: RFID tags). I'd love to find out how the system worked. Can anybody point me at any references to work carried out trying to automatically capture social interactions? RFID or otherwise...

Lots of social as well as technical issues to be considered, as has been pointed out by other posters. 

many thanks!

Barry and Ellis,

For the last year, we have been looking at experimental designs that
incorporate RFID.

I attended a conference where the badges were RFID and when I approached
someone that shared my interests (logged at registration) the badges not
only recorded the data but beeped on both badges to inform us that we were
kindred spirits. It was awesome. Can you imagine this for group research?

Reid
