would this mandate wearing badges only in certain locations, e.g. over the left breast?

Yes, you can use long-range directional antennas to increase your read range, but those would be rather hard to hide. As was mentioned, the hotel room cards use very much the same technology, and you can't really leave them behind when you leave the building.

It was maybe 4 or 5 years ago and I think it may have been some student(s) under Henning Schulzrinne at Columbia... but I am not sure about that.  I remember that when you went to the mic you put your badge up to this sensor and your name appeared in the jabber room. We used it in several of the RAI sessions at that IETF. Unfortunately I don't remember how well it worked or why it wasn't continued. There may be someone out there who can provide some insight. (And if it was Henning's students we can just drop him a note.)
