The smart door handle

Gizmag writes about a smart door handle with an RFID transponder system for access control.

... "Authorized persons no longer need a key. The door handle identifies the code of the inexpensive chip with the aid of its transponder antenna.

Linking the transponder to an automatic door opener offers added advantages for elderly or handicapped people, saving them the trouble of wielding keys or holding the door open in order to get inside the building".

Conceived by Now Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute.
