RFID in Japan

A new system developed by NEC.

At the clothing store, the shopper waves the smart tag in front of a special reader, and a computer in the store does the rest, accessing the Internet to get information about the wardrobe and displaying combinations on the screen that pair clothes in the store with clothes in the wardrobe.

Since the setup also assumes that each garment on display in the store has its own smart tag, the shopper can choose to view only specific garments, like the aforementioned jacket.

Stores can also use the system to suggest various products to
shoppers, based on clothes in his or her wardrobe.
