inLogic Announces RFID Pilot Solution for Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium Shark Bytes Exhibit

Posted on 10 March 2010 | 1 Comment

inLogic, a leading provider of RFID middleware and software solutions, today announced the success of a RFID pilot solution it has developed for the Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium.

In order to educate visitors about RFID technology, the Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium will be employing RFID to create personalized and participatory experiences in the upcoming Shark Bytes exhibit. Upon entering the exhibit, visitors will receive a reusable badge with an embedded RFID chip designating them as predator one of several shark species or prey. A series of RFID readers and antennas positioned throughout the gallery will track visitors movements through the exhibit, generating real-time dispersion patterns of how many visitors are currently at each station within the exhibit. The exhibit traffic will also be logged, providing the Museum insight into which stations receive the least amount of traffic and may need to be replaced.

The RFID badges will also trigger different multi-media responses at selected stations, providing visitors with clues as to their predator or prey identity. For example, one station might present visitors with food options, allowing them to see what they could and could not eat, and where they might be on the food chain. Other stations will provide insights concerning specific predatory abilities e.g. concealment, stealth, speed, sensory abilities.
