Papers/Notes: Sensing

Thursday, April 15
9:00 AM - 10:30 AM

High Accuracy Position and Orientation Detection in Two-Dimensional Communication Network
Kei Nakatsuma, The University of Tokyo, Japan
Hiroyuki Shinoda, The University of Tokyo, Japan

Describes a method and a prototyping for a novel position and orientation detection of devices in Two-Dimensional Communication networks.

Rethinking RFID: Awareness and Control For Interaction With RFID Systems
Nicolai Marquardt, University of Calgary, Canada
Alex S. Taylor, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK
Nicolas Villar, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK
Saul Greenberg, University of Calgary, Canada

Describes novel RFID tags providing reader awareness and information control. These tags give people control over RFID, a technology that is usually experienced passively and often operates invisibly.
