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

[Denise N. Rall]

Dear M.B. Gaved & others -

Hee is a partial bit of an email I captured - I
believe from Carolyn Haythornwaite. Apologies if I
have the attribution wrong.

------------------------------------------------------
 There are two projects I know of. One is called
IKNOW, developed by  Nosh Contractor at UIUC.
Participants can pre-enter their interests and   IKnow
> then shows the social networks among them based on
their interests.

>
> The other is a system called Intellibadge, lead
developer Donna Cox,  using RFID badges to capture and
display co-participation at conferences
http://intellibadge.ncsa.uiuc.edu/index.htm
>
> Both are useful for conferences. The Intellibadge
requires physical devices, but IKnow does not.
