Improving Aveer RFID technology for real-world scenarios

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has received extensive interests due to its low cost, battery-free, and small size. Many exciting applications based on RFID have been developed in recent years, such as localization, gesture sensing, and health monitoring, etc. However, none of these systems are widely in real-world use. The reason is that most existing systems assume a static communication environment, while a small environmental variation or tag geometrical condition change will cause a large accuracy decrease. In this project, we aim to use Aveer technology to overcome the limitations most current RFID faced and prototype a virtual shopping basket application. The project will provide novel solution for deploying RFID technology into real-world applications.
