Arfid: a reconfigurable fabric of input devices for the internet of things.

Low-cost, easily deployable, reconfigurable, movable input devices can enable adaptive workflows in commercial, industrial, and home environments. A key limitation of previous reconfigurable control systems is their high cost or maintenance burden (e.g., battery changes or wiring setup). Our poster presents Arfid, a "fabric" for reconfigurable input devices that connects low-cost, battery-free inputs to arbitrarily specified functions in their surroundings via a buildingwide network of RFID readers. Users can reassign controllers' functions using a simple web interface.
