[@NilupulMalinda]

Man, watching this video again in 2017, blew my mind. You've changed a lot. I'm really glad I've been following you on social medias and watching your videos since the very inception. Your videos have always been rich in content. I wish you best of luck, Marques!

[@DrBubba72]

I made a tag to put on my washing machine so when I put a load of clothes in and tap my phone or tablet up to it, it starts a timer that will make an alarm go off when the cycle is done. Same for my dryer.

[@bizz1024]

Used my Google Wallet at McDonalds the other day, and, the manager asked the crew to watch me demonstrate the transaction again..... LIKE A BOSS!!!

[@MaxwellStarr]

NFC hasn't gotten the widespread adoption it should have, it's hard to even find an NFC enabled TV these days... but I for one hope it doesn't go away, for one major reason - Photography. I might be one of the few people out there watching this video that still owns an actual Camera but most of Sony's current lineup of DSLR, Mirrorless and point-and shoot cameras (as well as other brands like Panasonic) support NFC, and it's an ingenious feature to be able to take a picture, tap your smartphone to the camera and instantly you have your photo on your phone where it can be edited and posted to Facebook or Instagram - in under a minute. I couldn't live without it now.

[@289cobra9]

3 years later things have changed. I use Google Pay all the time.

[@AVGNfan01]

i use NFC tags in combination with Telldus tech, so whenever i leave my house, the NFC chip at my front door: maxes phone screen brightness, turns up volume on phone, and that was all fine and dandy for the first part, but then, enter: TELLDUS. that same chip now: turns off all my lights at my house, it turns off my TV, PC and turns ON my freaking alarm system! :D I love this technology!

[@Jmulls248]

Wow, those features are pretty awesome. Coming from a person who primarily uses iOS over android, I used to never really see the use in NFC, but the idea of having a tag that set me up for different environments sounds really cool!

[@ArnelZapataJr]

I'd love if more retail stores accepted NFC payment. In my opinion, it's more convenient than having to bring multiple credit cards in your wallet.

[@dsakax]

佐罗AJ If your bank doesn't work with Google pay, maybe it has his own app for ncf, and you can pay in contactless machines. Maybe now is more popular than 4 years ago

[@christophercrawford2736]

Ahmed Elshahawi cool idea, but generally not a problem at the mosque I go to. Phones go off so seldom. I oftentimes leave my phone in the car when I go to the mosque for Friday prayer.

[@chadb0t]

seriously the most helpful video i could find, just automated my house, car, work, bedside and have SO MANY MORE ideas, NFC ROCKS!!! if you have android grab the task launcher mentioned in the video, seriously perfect app.

[@RealationGames]

You don't need NFC for keyless entry. There've been many RFID car locks around for years. Having a key read from your pocket is more convenient than having to touch the TX/RX pair.

[@BIGGboyee515]

yeah my car keys never leave my pocket and if you leave it in the car the lights blink and the door wont lock so you dont get locked out.

[@LESHEWIN]

yup i agree! i guess marques is pretty late in vehicle tech!

[@andylie7699]

Yeah, on new cars these days you get keyless entry and you just grab the door handle and the car unlocks, same when you exit the car, just place your finger on the door handle and the car locks... Obviously the car key needs to be close to the door handle, or in your pocket.. Better than NFC in my opinion...

[@RealationGames]

Andreas Lie The closer the range, the better the security. There was a case when bunch of BMW X5s were stolen by extending the keyless entry range by following the owner with a repeater, copying the transmission back to the car where another guy received the "extended" signal. The car thinks that the owner is near, although it's just a copy signal. Then they drove them in trucks and it's gone. It's always harder the closer you have to be to the key owner, but it only takes few seconds to start the car.

[@andylie7699]

Well, its different from brand to brand I guess.. Some systems are more secure than others...

[@thomascutler8005]

That's exactly what they want you to think. I guarantee most iPhone users didn't know Google Wallet existed. Apple likes to trick everyone by using words like "innovative" when it's nothing new at all. Also, that time last year when they told a straight up lie with the percentage of people using a version of Android. Apple users don't get it.

In Boston the MBTA cards are NFC/RFID and can be read by phones, and we just swipe the cards at a T stop to get in.

[@ZlatkoStamatov]

I was under the impression that when exchanging files with NFC, the NFC is only used for peering the devices, and the data transfer is done by Bluetooth or WI-FI Direct since NFC is slow and short range. Any comments on that?

[@nisdec]

You are right.

[@loopin1831]

I thought nfc stand for not for Cash

[@SuperTimothy17]

Nfc tags under each item on a shelf, in a store. Tap item's shelf tag Phone researches info on the item. -Item Specifications -Discounts that may be available -Add to cart -etc... Bring items to check out. Swipe phone on cash register. Pay with Google Wallet. Voila! I'm working on an idea I have to integrate NFC tags into day to day task at work. Maybe once a task is complete, you could swipe a tag and it would check it off your list and email your boss to say it was completed. So many possibilities!

Yes, but you literally have to get within a centimeter to get info and by the time your that close to someone or something, you've been spotted.....

[@Migueleins]

I think ppl are creating new rotines to implement NFC, insted of simplifing the ones they have. i have my alarm set for 5 days of the week.. dont need a tag for that however i have a tag to launch me the XBMC remote next to my bed, that is not something i do all the time and helps. Create tags that will help u, not change ur way of living in order to justify the tag.

[@TECHSYNERGIST]

I know this is an old video but I've been using NFC lately and i'm loving it.

[@ZhadTheRad]

I remember in 2017 when I started using Samsung Pay (it became available to my phone then in the fall of 2017), cashiers were surprised to see it was possible to pay with your phone. Do note that back then most payments I did with Samsung Pay were through MST, as NFC-enabled terminals were relatively uncommon back then in my country. Now every shop has terminals with NFC and MST is dead in Europe. And in 2019, I surprised my colleagues in a shop I worked in over the summer by paying with Samsung Pay. The manager is just 10 years older than me (I'm 22), and she didn't even know that was possible

+Saad Yaqub Though that is true, it is optional for the consumer to buy and it is the consumer who chooses to use it in whatever way they want to use it. If that specific way makes them lazier, so be it, it's their fault. But the real geniuses are the developpers and proggramers behind deverything for it is they who are making these futuristic things and it is they who make profit out of it. They're the real smart ones.

Hey Marques. I am in china (Nanjing) right now and i happened to notice that the transport system actually makes use of NFC tags but apparently they are encrypted or smefing (i noticed that once when i accidentally placed my NFC enabled find 5 on my transport token and it made a noise). Also, university cards here use NFC too (university cards are used to make payments for stuffs within uni like canteen or internet)....They've really advanced far in this field here!

[@LandonTetreault]

In Saskatoon Canada the University and Transit System which use the same card also use nfc. my phone started making the nfc sound the other day when i placed it on my bus pass card.

[@christymiller0912]

[@blackboxdisease]

in my opinion, NFC in phones are crap at this current time and of no real use and not very practical at all which is why it's slow to adopt. I would rather get one of those kickstarter NFC rings and use that instead of my phone. There wasn't a need for it but someone thought it would be cool and now people are trying to create a need for it. Now instead of just using my fingers to perform functions on my phone, I have a bag full of NFC Tags that can do it, but wait, I forget which tag does what. Oh, and the time consuming job of programming and reprogramming every single tag is another thing. By the time I had programmed them in the first place, I could have already performed whatever function I had programmed it to do. This is innovation working backwards. NFC for locks, starting the car, logging into a computer or other password protected places, NFC for safes, or even time cards are practical uses. The all one would need is an nfc ring with an i.d to perform those functions.

[@sushrith]

You're not getting the point. The thing is that most people in the twenty-first century have a smartphone. Integrating a NFC chip in the phone is a complete no-brainer. There might not be a need for it now, but later the technology might pick up speed and momentum. Also, let me point out a few things wrong with your point: 1) The 'bag full of NFC tags' point - You're meant to stick them in different places, like near your door. So, when you go out of your house, you tap your phone on it, and it does whatever you need it to, like launch Maps, increase the volume, etc.. You're not meant to stick them all in a bag and then fish one out whenever you need to do something. That would be time consuming, and counter-productive. 2) The 'time consuming job of programming chips' - You're meant to do it once. Not every time you need to do something. Now, say you need to launch an app, or a bunch of apps, you program a chip so that in the future, you just need to tap it. Otherwise, whats the point of an NFC tag? Admittedly, the NFC technology isn't really necessary now, but you can definitely see a potential for it in the future. Hell, I would love being able to pay at a shop just by using Google Wallet and tapping my phone at a NFC tag at checkout. Though, chances of that happening here in India are infinitesimally small.

[@lapamful]

Wow, Google pay? No thanks. Google already knows more about me than my parents do. Think about the tech you embrace and where it could end up 20 years down the line.

[@saundiwatson1573]

What's Google Pay?

[@lapamful]

It's a method of payment for shops and things. You swipe your phone to pay instead of a credit card. Nothing wrong in it per se, but Google would love to replace money. So what happens if someone's in badly in debt and needs to pay bills but also wants to buy food and can't because of a freeze on their Google Pay account? It's essentially about taking away yet more freedoms; to spend money wherever and whenever we like. That's the very real danger.

[@siddhantagarwal5245]

Hi Marques ! First of all I would like to say that you are doing some awesome stuff ! Way to go ! . I have put an NFC tag on the keys of my home , so everytime I lock the door I touch my phone on the keys and it activates a reminder after 10 minutes reminding me that I have safely locked the door. I have also stick a NFC sticker on the centre table of my living room so when ever I am in a mood of some music , I just make a small touch and it activates bluetooth on my OnePlus One which automatically connects to my home theater system and starts playing music at 'shuffle' ! I have a NFC tag in my school bag as well , so whenever I enter my classroom and put my phone in that bag the phone goes on Silent mode. :) Lots of Love from India !

[@Adjeezy]

***** Totally agree with you. NFC is definitely the future. There's a brilliant app from Sony called Smart Connect. There's almost endless uses for it. I use it to send pre written texts like when I'm running late, launch various apps, make phone calls etc. Once you discover the possibilities you'll be amazed!

[@NextLevelTech]

I used it to drop my resume website into a potential employers phone during an interview. I 3D printed a tag chip and adhered the NFC tag to the resin disc. I explained the process in a video on my channel. Thanks for sharing I wish I had seen this even sooner.

Just bought a couple set of NFC tags so I can experiment with them. I've been using Google wallet for a while, and love the fact that it generates a new number for each transaction and I don't have to shred those receipts anymore. Only had two failures; one which came from trying it without opening the Wallet app, and the other time the register was freaking out. Most cashiers that understand it think it's awesome. Older ones kind of freak and out and say "What are you trying to do?!"

[@Blizl0x]

Awesome ideas man, definitely going to use more NFC from now on!

[@sysghost]

The public transport system in Stockholm uses NFC/RFID tickets. Even the single-use disposable tickets are NFC/RFID. That gives me a free supply of unique NFC "tags" to put where ever I want them, and they'll work just like other NFC tags. Only drawback is that one cannot write data to them, but since they all have a unique serial number pre-programmed, they're still useful after they have been used.

[@almightyshippo1197]

In South Australia we have started using NFC cards for public transport, and they are great. I think we started using them about two years ago. They make life so much easier when you take public transport a lot.

nfc tasks can handle write protected nfc cards aswell. the local transport company here has subscription cards that have nfc tags built into them. you cannot read or write to them since they use a custom protocol but what you can read is the serial number. when you then use nfc tags app to write onto it, it will tell you it failed but.. as soon as you touch it, it will work because it cached the actions inside your phone.

I'm glad you brought up google wallet. That's the number one reason I stick with some variation of the android software
