The Mir:ror Is A Consumer Level RFID Reader For Your Home

The makers of the Nabaztag Rabbit are at it again.  This time around they’re offering a device called the Mir:ror.  It plugs into your computer via USB and displays information associated with objects that are placed on its surface.  No, it doesn’t magically know what an umbrella or remote look like.  The Mir:ror package includes RFID stickers that you place on the object and once you’ve associated an item with the Mir:ror it will display the information accordingly, such as weather or TV schedule every time it passes its surface.

You can buy it here for $70.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    Hi,
    I’m going to but an RFID reader (Mir:ror or Touchatag).
    What rfid reader do you suggest me?
    Is Mir:ror software still buggy for Windows Vista?

    Well, in my opinion both readers are very similar.
    The Mir:ror is more more fun and cute. It embedds colorfull lights, emits sounds and detects movements),

    But the Touchatag is lighty cheaper. There are both using USB port.

    In a RFID point of view, they seam very similar since the both work with the ‘tricky tags’ that I found out in the RFID Stock e-site.
