RFID can't tell you what direction an object is facing. It will give you distance and data, but not relative positioning. You also need an RFID reader. This tech uses any decent digital camera. Also, obsolete is not a verb.
Fascinating idea! So for this to work in real time you need two cameras as close to each other as possible, one in focus and one out of focus. Sounds like for this to really catch on the next generation of smart phones should have two cameras rather than one built into them!
Not a lot of use for most handheld cameras or camera phones that have auto focus and no manual focus control.

RFID pretty much obsoletes this; it's available now and it's cheap, invisible, and doesn't require line-of-sight. Cool tech though.
