Bloomberg Business Week reports that Disney is investing $1 billion (or milliard) in guest tracking. From the article:
Jason McInerney and his wife, Melissa, recently tapped their lunch orders onto a touchscreen at the entrance to the Be Our Guest restaurant at Florida's Walt Disney World Resort and were told to take any open seat. Moments later a food server appeared at their table with their croque-monsieur and carved turkey sandwiches. Asks McInerney, a once-a-year visitor to Disney theme parks: "How did they know where we were sitting?"

Care to throw me a keyword or five for "readers" or similar to implement such tracking? I'm actually looking into doing something like this for the next place I move to (mainly since my girlfriend and I have _very_ different preferences on aircondition, airtemperature and light, so I plan on automating the living daylight out the place) but due to not knowing the proper phrases to search for I find very little* (and I would prefer not to having to reinvent the wheel)
* = other than setups that require contact, for my plans I require a distance for reading of at least 2ft)

Look at Motorola Solutions readers. LLRP is the language that they need to be programmed in. Alien Readers makes good gear too.
