Abstract
Systems and techniques for a low power wrist-worn RFID reader capable of reading RFID tags within the area of a localized personal body network. The wrist-worn reader provides a means for tracking how a user interacts with their environment. The wrist-worn reader may distinguish between tagged objects within the range of the reader and objects held by the user. The reader may also distinguish when a tagged object has been picked up and when it has been released.
