RFID in Japan

Mitsubishi Electric demos "Future DVD Shop" at CAETEC Japan Expo.

What's unusual about this "future dvd shop" is that instore customers wear small head mount display (HMD) devices. DVD packages are RFID-tagged and when a customer picks up a package RFID readers embedded in a shelf detect it. Now, the customer can preview movies etc. on her HMD.
