Violet Mir:ror RFID tag reader can connect your car keys to maps, weather reports

violet mirror Violet Mir:ror RFID tag reader can connect your car keys to maps, weather reportsWhat if every object in your home had the ability to connect to the internet and access information you need. The Violet Mir:ror RFID tag reader brings these dream one step closer to reality. The US$49.99 device includes the tag reader, Ztamps and a pair of Nanoztag micro-rabbits. The latter two funny-named devices can be programmed with applications from the Violet website, all of which work with standard internet data transmission protocols. So, for instance, if you attach a Ztamp to your car keys, you could wave it across the Mir:ror and you’d instantly get current weather conditions and a map to your destination on your computer screen. The Mir:ror can read four RFID tags simultaneously and has a funky design, including an LED light ring.  You can also customize the Mir:ror’s design with Mir:rorskins.  The USB-connected device is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems.
