Input/Output

This week I decided to speak about input and output and the ways that it might be incorporated into OmniEXP. I think that RFID chips are a promising field of technology that could find their way into improving the overall experience of the social media project.

Unfortunately RFID readers are still in a state of being fairly expensive for purchase, but once that price drops I can easily imagine RFID readers being installed in local video game stores in order to track OmniEXP users and perhaps even provide them with reminders and updates as to what is going on in their local gaming store. Sort of like foursquare for gamers.

I know foursquare has gotten along just find without RFID tracking, but considering how seriously certain individuals take online competition, having something as stable as RFID tracking really ensures a high quality experience for each and every OmniEXP. In other words, it cuts down on the hacks.
