- Product Description
- tikitag enables consumers to trigger online actions by touching RFID labeled things with NFC Mobile Phones or PC RFID readers. Applications range from travelers requesting information about a monument that's tagged, to children interacting with a PC via tagged toys. tikitag provides an open application-creation platform: via comprehensive DIY tools, any application builder or web-literate consumer can create RFID applications, share them on tikitags website and define actions associated with tags.
- Market Opportunity
- IDTechEX estimates the worldwide market for RFID network, software and services to grow from around $1 billion in 2008 to over $6 billion in 2013 and expects a cumulative 1,000 billion RFID tags by 2017. Strategy Analytics projects that in 2012 around 250 million NFC phones will be sold.
- DEMO Says
- RFID is going mainstream, and Alcatel-Lucent is leading the parade. The same technology that allows warehouses to track pallets of Wheaties is the basis for a consumer service that bridges the tangible and digital worlds. While clearly a product focused on the early adopter, tikitag sets the stage for the understanding and adoption of RFID into new and wider markets.
