The theme running throughout most of this year's WinHEC keynote in Shenzhen, China was mixed reality.

I, for one, as a mixed reality or bust developer, am very glad to see it.

As much as it pains me to say it, without my phone, I would pretty much be useless. I can barely remember what I had for lunch yesterday, let alone all of the hundreds of numbers in my contact list.

It's controlled by an Arduino serial console and a custom Android app to add and remove cards. The reader can store 50 or 100 tags at a time and allows 7 diffe...
