Personal user interface devices control the future elevator at the Finnish Pavilion at Shanghai Expo
A develod project initiated by RFID Lab Finland and implemented by Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences together with KONE, Hansaprint, Enfucell and Sensor Center, shows how people flow can be managed inside the Finnish Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.
The purpose of VisualRFID development project was to increase the efficiency of people flow management in highly trafficked public spaces. The project gave birth to a personal, energy efficient destination card, which consist of an e-paper display, RFID chip and an ultra-thin environmentally friendly battery. Expo guides approaching the lift use their personal, energy efficient destination card, which consist of an e-paper display, RFID chip and an ultra-thin environmentally friendly batter. Expo guides approaching the lift use their personal VisualRFID destination card to indicate which floor they would like to visit. This information is used to bring a lift to pick them up and deliver them to their desired destination.
