Project Ladybag has a built-in LED display that reacts to the user's behavior in two ways. In this image the bag is shown reflecting the user's emotional state through the display of emoticons. Emotional state is determined through explicit interactions with the bag that are registered through physical sensors. The second mode of behavior is through an RFID reader in the bag. In this mode, the bag displays cues on the exterior of the bag when expected items (tagged with an RFID) are missing. Forget your keys, then your handbag will know. Does this design make sense? What do you think? |

Did you read these 25 case studies on RFID yet?
One of them real world applications may give you some additional ideas on the bag.

I'm not sure I want everyone to know that I have my wallet in my bag because my bag isn't showing the wallet icon on the outside. It is also very hard to figure out when the right collection of expected items are in the bag, if it isn't a static set. My suggestion is that the bag display abstract icons that vary from person to person that are cued based on explicit mappings of missing objects in the bag. The icons vary from person to person and are learned by the owner of the bag through use. For now I don't think learning patterns of objects that vary based on time or location is a productive approach.
