Right now, we can set a POZYX ID on a tag using the pozyx tools, but we cannot access the ID. This would allow us to give students specific tags that can then be mapped to sim effects / properties. For example, currently, if we leave the default name displaying on the pozyx tag, we can say to a kid "you are number 1" and they can see 1 on screen. However, we cannot change that name to read "Fish 1" or "Bob" currently (if Bob is associate with 1 and Tim with 2, etc.). t'd be nice to be able to say "you are Fish 1" and set the text to Fish 1, or even "1 is blue, and 2 is orange" and then have the character check their number and change the costume accordingly to help kids identify themselves. Or, if we know the numbers give kids a blue hat which colors the costume blue because our code knows that the 1 tag is blue, or similar. Basically, if we can check the tag ID and we plan in advance, lots of options open up.
