I have added an image to my Hub to advertise NFC tags inside 3D printed objects. I have used them for many different applications and I have some great ideas for future projects. The tags are cheap and survive the temperature of the printing process. The limitations are that of memory per tag and that of NFC adoption in phones… currently apple is not on board for open use. I would love to hear feedback, similar efforts or ideas for applications.
I’ve added some examples to my twitter @AtomJaay with more to come.
A print of a scan of my friend as she recorded a Johnny Cash cover… the embedded tag is linked to the recording on her reverbnation profile.
A turntable model with matching records for a DJ. Each record had a tag linked to different tracks from his site. (this one got me thinking of a 3D printed turntable style phone case that one could place mini records on to bring up a song… silly idea but fun)
Keychains linked to sites to promote a Radio Show, Real Estate Agent and Sports Therapy Professional
A “ON AIR” table top sign for a radio show with an embedded tag programmed to change the phone state to silent mode.
Lanyard flair linked to My Service Sites and Cummunity Profiles
I printed a model of a floppy disc with a tag embedded… it is a data storage art piece of sorts.
