Sure, the thought of putting colorful RFID stamps all over your personal affects sounds like it could be cool at first, anyone with foresight can quickly come to the conclusion that it would get old. Fast.
Even still, Violet has released the Mir:ror, a small disc that you connect to your computer which then relays information on any RFID stamps (called Ztamp:s) to your computer, triggering something to happen. For example, Ztamp:s placed on the corner of a physical file could open all digital files associated with it with a single wave (see more examples in the video, here).
So, if for some reason your computer’s mouse is just too much for you to use, you can pick up the Mir:ror for just $59, and get additional Ztamp:s by the dozen for $20.

You know this is my mark. You wont be able to buy or sell anything without my mark on your right fore arm and fore head. I command you to place an RFiD tag on your forehead and right forearm with my mark 666 and bow down to me. Hello I am the AntiChrist nice to meet you and be sure to worship me.

this could be somewhat useful for a small store who can't afford surface or perfressional IT for setup. customers can just bring the product they want to buy near a computer in the store, and scan the item for more info.
