Coming to Grips with the Objects We Grasp: Detecting Interactions with Efficient Wrist-Worn Sensors

paper

This paper aims to recognize gestures by attaching an accelerometer and an RFID transmitter to a wrist worn device. The idea is that we know what device is being used due to RFID tags placed on devices, and the accelerometer data paired with the device ID can be used to classify the current gesture. A "box test" was performed in which various items were placed into and removed from the box using different RFID antenna types, different objects, and with different subjects. A long term study was also conducted in which the bracelet was worn for an entire day to test real world applications.

----------

I think the idea of this paper is nice, and if RFID tags were present in all our everyday items, much information could be obtained about how users interact on a day to day basis. I think it would only work well with a high number of tagged items, so if that doesn't happen, I don't know how useful this will be.
