U.K. family agrees to RFID monitoring. For science, of course.

A British family has agreed to have their activities monitored via RFID tags while they occupy a new smart home, in order to provide data to the builder, which will use the info to make future home-building decisions. As family members move from room to room, 26 sensors will track their locations,
giving the builder a better idea of whether, say, anyone is actually using the hot tub or playing table tennis in the garage. While we imagine parents Nick and Sue Parnell are being compensated for the privacy invasion, we can't imagine their two teenage daughters are happy with it; hopefully the girls will take the piss out of the system and leave their tags in odd spots like the hall closet or boiler room, leading to a whole new concept in home design.
