I want to see a simple mesh network running across the badges, or maybe some stationary base stations that use signal strength to real time track each badge at the conf - and a big map overhead showing you where everyone is. Page a badge and it shows up on the map for approx location. That is going to be a fun conf.
We'd love to do something like this - we're placing "beacons" around the site to provide uplinks for this kind of thing. We'd also like people to be able to see who they met up with or spent time with. But time's pretty tight, as the badges only arrive a week before the event, so submissions will be welcome.
