Tagging your world with RFID

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Promises concrete claims: UHF RFID tags integrate with Ruby, can read tags ~30 ft in practice for some hardware, and cheap paper tags cost ~13¢ each. Demos show a Raspberry Pi running Ruby, WebSockets and ActiveRecord to build pet presence, a smart trashcan and a fashion portal; some live demos flake but mostly recover. Talks covers hardware ranges, collision limits, UHF Gen2 details, zombie-tag kill/reactivate patterns, and industrial reader speeds — watch if hands‑on tools, costs and working demos matter.
