GaussRFID: Reinventing Physical Toys Using Magnetic RFID Development Kits
summary
A hybrid RFID plus magnetic-field system combines a magnetic unit with an RFID tag to track ID, 3D position and partial orientation with about 5 mm precision and no training required. The kit ships as GaussTag and GaussStage, offers physical caps to constrain motion, plug-and-play I/O and an Arduino-compatible shield, and a cardboard module for low cost. A two-day workshop (31 people, six groups) yields six working toy hacks; limits are single-tag HF reads and no sensing through LCD.
