Started some of my reading and research today. The first paper was titled: "Enabling Implicit Human Computer Interaction, A wearable RFID-Tag Reader". The paper deals with the concept of implicit human computer interaction, or in other words using a persons actions as inputs that can be interpretted by a computer. The basic concept of this case study is identical to my own project, where a mobile RFID reader is integrated into clothing, or something carried by the user, which records interactions with various stationary RFID- tags.
The paper gives a brief explanation on how the system works. The RFID-tags are small electrical circuits which become active through electromagnetic induction, or are energised by the magnetic field produced by the reader. While it supplies energy it is able to communicate with the tag, sending a unique identification in a continuous string to an attached computer, which can then in turn be mapped to URLs. This system can be applied to a number of scenarios such as stock control.
The main outcome of this is to develop web based applications which use the RFID data in some useful way. This is again applicable to my project but I think I would like to explore other ways of communicating with the user such as the built in display that Lorcan suggested.

Good post. When you read papers I strongly suggest you keep a note of them in bibtex format. Perhaps post it on your blog comment.
When you come to write up the final report you can drop the bibtex into a file and use it for citations. It'll be a time saver of a resource for you.
Here's some bibtex to get yourself started (its for that paper):
@inproceedings{856520,
author = {Albrecht Schmidt and Hans-W. Gellersen and Christian Merz},
title = {Enabling Implicit Human Computer Interaction: A Wearable RFID-Tag Reader},
booktitle = {ISWC '00: Proceedings of the 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers},
year = {2000},
isbn = {0-7695-0795-6},
pages = {193},
publisher = {IEEE Computer Society},
address = {Washington, DC, USA},
}
