I can already imagine the commercial applications:
Coupled with the directional sound systems being designed for vending machines to be able to whisper directly to you over range, you could create a system that advertises itself, and if you don't buy the advertised product, wham, some pain. Neat. It practically sells itself. And, you can just SEE the vendors lining up at the expo to buy in (or else, wham!)
Somehow we need to figure out how to couple RFID in it... maybe by making it the only accepted form of payment, so they have a record, and since its RFID, they can track you even if you don't buy.
Yeah, thats the future that we're letting get built. Go us!
