Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has recently received a lot of attention as an augmentation technology in the ubiquitous computing domain. In this paper we present various sources of error in passive RFID systems, which can make the reliable operation of RFID augmented applications a challenge. To illustrate these sources of error, we equipped playing cards with RFID tags and measured the performance of the RFID system during the different stages of a typical card game. The paper also shows how appropriate system design can help to deal with the imperfections associated with RFID.
