Evaluation and Implementation

3.1 System Implementation

We attach 12 tags on a cube and

embed the cube inside a plastic ball

We employ an ImpinJ Speedway

modelledR420 reader

We adopt Low Level Reader

Protocol (LLRP) tocommunicate with

the reader

We useLeapMotion to

capture the ground truth of Rotation

Conclusion

• We present an RFID-based device for human-computer interaction in 3D space

• Our key innovation is study on motion behaviors of a group of tags by using Extended Kalman Filter

• The implementation is based on purely COTS RFID products
