I remain very suspicious concerning NFC. QR codes can be very invasive,
meaning you can adopt a different code to identify each physical location,
but the person who places the code cannot be 100% sure of the geographical
location of the person using the code.
With NFC, each chip is uniquely identified. So I wonder if those security
concerns will overide the more practical and user friendly side of NFC. I
think we can wait and see until the NFC technology becomes cheap enough for
it to be interesting for us. After all, QR codes are 100% free to produce
and print. That is not the case for NFC.

hi beat,
i expect nfc only tags to be cheaper, smaller, and therefor easier to
mount and maintain.and, they are easier to read with phone software.
you do not need to take a foto with (of course unintended) flashlight
in a museum for example. encoding is also easier, as a nfc enabled
phone and the tag suffices. no url to qr conversion, no printing.

Hi Rupert,
What is the expected additional benefit compared to QR-codes?
To what extent does NFC facilitate the use of the tags by the users?
To what extent does NFC facilitate the application of the tags by the
host?
Best,

hi,
i was wondering if we should try to extend the qr code initiative a
little bit and use nfc tags additionally to qr codes. what you think?
