Networked devices such as toys, sensors, and home appliances sometimes require objects to be connected and aware of each other, to be “friends” as it were. A novel technology, RFID Shakables, developed by Disney Research in collaboration across their Pittsburgh and Zurich Labs, allows for creating easy and secure connections between RFID enabled objects when they are co-located.
Two objects are paired, or become friends, by “shaking,” or moving them together, in close proximity to an RFID reader to uniquely identify and pair the objects. Gesture recognition is applied to identify the recorded movements of the devices, to mark them as a pair.
