Mapping an RFID tag's readable space:
Cool idea in which the film makers claims to have an LED light up whenever an RFID was read and then produce a long exposure video of it to see the space around the device.

Although this is definitely cool, I think the implications go far beyond the glossy quality of the video and the coolness of the idea. The main point here is that visualizing the field is a way to highlight possible ways to design with RFID. It's a bit weird but we can see it as a form of design research (that is a bit unusual in academic communities which deal with HCI).
