AMBIENT-6G

This use case proposes using battery-free END tags with RF backscatter communication in museums to deliver personalized, context-aware content to visitors. Traditional energy harvesting methods like light-based systems are unsuitable due to strict lighting conditions needed to preserve sensitive artifacts.

Instead, END tags placed near exhibits reflect RF signals from visitors’ smartphones or nearby emitters. When a visitor approaches, the tag is energized and modulates the signal to transmit exhibit-specific information. This enables proximity-based content delivery (e.g., audio, text, or multimedia) without affecting the museum’s conservation environment.

The system is low-maintenance, non-intrusive, and compatible with existing infrastructure (e.g., Wi-Fi), offering a sustainable and engaging way to enrich the visitor experience.
