RFID as material Design

http://www.nearfield.org/downloads/RFIDmaterialdesign.pdf

We have currently entered a phase of social and tangible computing where the focus is much more on human capabilities. The current discourse about RFID is clouded by metaphors because it does not have one single shape. Arnall calls for an increasing visibility of RFID in design in order to show the different shapes and forms that RFID comes in. Every medium has its own voice and the different RFID readers and cards show us the different expressions of this voice.
