The RFID accessibility technique intended he experienced to remove his gloves even though sitting down on his motorcycle to fish out the keytag for entry.

Buying a 125 KHz RFID tag duplicator off eBay, he was equipped to rapidly duplicate the tag, and make a single that labored with his garage’s entry program. When the duplicate tags worked very well, they had been continue to far too big to simply suit into a glove. Tries to produce a duplicate with a lesser tag failed, also. Sooner or later, [Gabe] turned up a ring complete with a suitable RFID chip, and was able to replicate his entry tag on to that. Now, by donning the ring, he can enter his garage and building with a very simple wave of the hand, gloves on or off.
