Microsoft is using R.F.I.D. wristbands to transmit information that in the past was delivered as printed materials. The wristbands will also be used to enhance some of the attendee experiences, such as a party Tuesday night at Walt Disney World.

Around the lounge, attendees can tap their R.F.I.D. wristbands to activate things such as event R.S.V.P.s and receipt of photos.
