In this video we demonstrate how NFC (Near Field Communication) tags can trigger online experiences such as launching a 3D virtual tour or an AR model. Recent iPhones have the ability to listen to NFC triggers in the background. This makes it possible to run actions by tapping the phone on an NFC tag attached, for example, to a brochure or a business card. In our experiment, we programmed blank NFC tags provided by GoToTags using their iOS app. We linked both a Matterport 3D tour and a 3D model saved in USDZ format (Apple's AR format). Special thanks to our VR designer Michael Gelon. |

| You may be interested in this solution https://zerocard.co.nz/ I am not sure how much you can program it through them but it is quite cheap. For me NFC is cool and you can actually build indoor navigation with some quite affordable RFID devices(example at https://marvelmind.com/product/starter-set-super-nia-3d/) but I find it difficult to keep NFC On all the time. When it is on it is trying to interact with my credit cards that are in a small wallet close to my phone in my pocket. |

| This can now be accomplished with the new Pixel phones too and Eddystone beacons, not just Apple or NFC but WOW! I developed an earlier BLE application for the car dealership I worked as Digital Director to ping traffic 20 feet from the showroom via BLE for iPhones, to say "here we are" but it never worked as well as I hoped, and lost interest. Thanks for sharing and awakening my interest. I still have the beacons and you gave me new hope for this neat tech, and what a great allie we have in you. | ||

| I do not know but as an example you can build a wireless fence indoor and limit your drone flying only in the specified by the fence area. Also anything robotic on wheels you can mount it on & program connection and communication with a beacon implemented and you can calculate your position relevant to any beacon in a visibility. However I do not really want to steal @Toolini thread. I just mentioned NFS/RFPID as a cool tech that has a lot of uses. |

| @wingman thanks for the links and the ideas. As @getmyvr shares too, there may be some interesting scenarios for both RFID/beacons too. Something that comes to mind is digital signage that changes based on a pre-qualifying card that is handed to you, or a tablet that auto updates content as you walk around a showroom. | ||

| @Tosolini You're an inspiration for us all to dig deep into our imaginations, thanks. And for R/E agents and real estate marketing experts like US, adding a QR Code on property signs or a sign rider is a no-brainer: since the tour can be totally branded, for onsite lead capture, something they have to pay through the nose for with these big real estate sites. | ||

| @Tosolini Thanks for sharing your video mashing up NFC/AR/Matterport. And, thanks for including GoToTags. Was it hard to program? Via an app? Quote: Originally Posted by @Wingman Zerocard is cool!

Best, Dan |

| @dansmigrod If you have one of the latest iPhones, you can read / write blank tags using apps like NFC Tools or Smart NFC. Once you Erase the tag, you select Write a Tag, add a new record (text, link phone call, etc) and then you tap the tag again. That's enough to program the tag. You exit the app and test the tag on the iPhone home page if it worked. |

| @Tosolini Cool! Does the iPhone 13 Pro act like NFC trigger or just a reader? Dan |

| @dansmigrod I'm not aware of any app that enables the iPhone to be an NFC trigger. That doesn't mean that it can't be done, it's just I haven't come across it in my research. The above apps will make the iPhone a tag writer. No need of any app to read NFC |
