As John Park puts it: “I took the whole art of double-clicking on an icon and made it really complicated and brought it into the physical world.” He made a conveyor belt that has an RFID reader underneath. When you place a wooden icon tile for a website (which has an RFID tag on it), it brings up that page on your web browser. Obviously, this is not the likely application for such tech, but it’s a cool proof of concept. It and John’s other project, the “God Shot” espresso puck tamper, featured in MAKE Volume 12, garnered John three Editor’s Choice blue ribbons at Maker Faire.
