Charmed used to have their CharmIT wearable system with a similar case, but they've erased all traces of that, and are now doing their "Charm Badge" dealie. The Wayback Machine at archive.org might be the only place to dig it up at this point. Incidentally, anyone know what the deal with the Charm Badge is? There's that Ars Electronica group that did something similar: http://www.traceencounters.org/ And there's another MIT alumni startup that's doing just the badge, without the wearable heritage: http://www.ntag.com/ Why did Charmed nix wearables? Badges like this are also expensive; isn't there a better business proposition for having passive RFID tags in badges, and then getting a list of people you're compatible with based on their registration information and vendors they've shown interest in (because you sold all the vendors RFID readers which all feed back into a central database) made available to you for a fee, in near-real-time, either on the web or beamed to your cell phone or PDA?
