What do you guys think these booth like walls are for? And I don't really think there'll be a velvet rope DMV like line of people that want to look at a "can-o-grandma". I think if you placed something in the urn you'd definitely be able to walk up to the urn, touch it, probably even remove the top and then leave.

This is designed for people to "spend time" with the remains of their relatives. Usually people pray or tell stories to graves and tombstones. I would assume that this sort of privacy is given here too. Afaik the Japanese are a cautious bunch when it comes to private spaces.]]>Aug 18th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/Aug 18th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/rfid-activated-retrieval-system-brings-urns-up-for-viewing/
