The Touch project is working on Near Field Communication (NFC) between objects and mobile devices. Their latest project involves a custom built RFID reader attached to an iPhone. The device triggers actions on the iPhone based on the RFID embedded object it comes in contact with. In the case of the video below, the objects trigger videos to play when the iPhone is close enough to read the embedded RFID.
Since iPhone software 3.0 will allow the control of third-party peripherals, we could see this project become a reality in the near future for consumers.
