Zoo mobility

Another use of RFID:

RFID in Japan reports that the "Ubiquitous ID Center will test an RFID-based system for supporting sightseeers at a park and a zoo in Ueno, Tokyo. The test wil start on the 13th October and lasts till the end of November and will be carried out in collaboration with Jiritsu Project by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.RFID tags (ucode tags) and "radio markers" will be embedded at key locations in a park and a zoo. Mobile devices (Ubiquitous Communicator) read these tags and show directions, recommend possible routes and provide users (e.g., international travellers) with information about historical spots and animals".
