News is coming out that the long range RFID features of the magicband are going to be turned on soon. The first thing to come from this is going to be automatic linking of ride cameras to riders, so your photos will automagically be linked to your MDE account. To this point, magicbands have just been wearable KTTW cards, but they are now on the path to becoming much more.
What cool features would you like to see made possible with the magic of technology?
I would like to see:
E: How about "flash flashpasses" that would be something like "big thunder mountain is 500 feet away and has no wait. Would you like a fastpass good for the next 10 minutes?" This could be used to keep tourists away from heavy crowds until they disperse a bit.

I would like to see:
- Real-time tracking of crowd flow across the park, with posted numbers above each land so that I could head towards less populated areas
- Check-in for ADRs when I'm moving towards my restaurant
- Text messages to suggest new rides based on my movements throughout the park (like "I see you and everyone else are in tomorrowland, maybe you should try going to frontierland instead")
- Locations for friends and family (with opt-in, of course)
