p2p news / p2pnet: The world’s first spy-chip enabled arcade games.

That’s what’s promised by way of a trade show promo at the RFID Journal’s 4th Annual Conference & Exhibition in May.

For the RFID-enabled footie, players will throw a tagged football into one of three holes, the smallest of which will score the most points.

"Each hole will be fitted with an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) interrogator antenna," says the story. "Before making a pass, an attendee will swipe his or her show badge, which will contain an RFID tag, and the system will record which hole the ball goes through, keeping track of the attendee’s total score for five attempts. The person with the current highest score will be displayed throughout the day."

For the golf game, putters will putt at three levels of difficulty, winning higher scores as the putts become more difficult.

"The RFID system will record the hole the ball enters and associate the points for each successful putt with the appropriate attendee, using the show badge tags to identify who makes each shot," says the RFID Journal. "The system will then display the highest score."

At last, a truly useful RFID application ; )
