00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:13,200
the Jazz mini is a beautiful and compact aluminum stand for your smartphone that

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:18,880
even holds tablets up to 8 in Click now to learn more NFC for the uninitiated

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,519
stands for nearfield communication and is a wireless radio communication

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,560
standard that is designed for very closeup and very power efficient

5
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:31,759
transmission of small amounts of data integrated NFC readers are a popular

6
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:37,000
feature on Android and Windows Phone smartphones and NFC tags can be found on

7
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,480
anything from movie posters to trigger a trailer to play on YouTube to food

8
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,680
packaging to direct you to the manufacturer's website for nutritional information and recipe suggestions and

9
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:49,320
as price continues to fall in the technology becomes more ubiquitous I

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:55,719
expect there will be all kinds of innovative uses for it that we can't even imagine right now but you don't

11
00:00:53,879 --> 00:01:00,199
have to run around and find NFC tags that contain useful functionality you

12
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:06,159
can actually buy your own here is just such a device from Tagger Tagger near

13
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:07,560
wave type 1 NFC tags are like any NFC

14
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,799
tag they're made up of a couple of key components including a very small amount

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,479
of storage memory a radio chip and an antenna all of which is passively

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,680
powered which means they draw power from the device reading them that means you

17
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,640
can put them almost anywhere unlike some

18
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,640
other NFC tags they're designed to be applied unapplied bent creased and all

19
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:35,079
of that without invalidating your warranty and they're covered on each side by a waterproof PVC a protective

20
00:01:32,399 --> 00:01:38,040
layer with a frustratingly strong 3M Adhesive on the back side that we

21
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,600
learned the hard way should probably only be applied to surfaces that you

22
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,240
don't ever want to remove your tag from Luke went and stuck a couple of them

23
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:50,000
together like way to go Luke with that cautionary message in mind you can stick

24
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,280
them to almost anything they do have some limitations though we found that

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,520
they only really work very close up like almost touching so make sure there's

26
00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:01,600
actually enough clearance for you to get your phone next to it and they also

27
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:06,640
don't work work on metal surfaces unless you use an RF Shield they're a little

28
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,599
bit on the big side at 32 cm squared but given that you have to get your phone in

29
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,640
close to them I guess that last one is a bit of a non-issue which leads us into

30
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:19,239
the big question here why would you want to buy your own NFC

31
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,280
tags what can they be used for well with

32
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:24,560
an app like trigger which we highly

33
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,440
recommend you can set them up to do all kinds of things here are some cool

34
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:32,519
examples that we came up with you can generate email shopping list when you're

35
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,200
out of stuff you can save Grandma the frustration of navigating menus on her

36
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:40,519
phone to place calls to loved ones you can set alarms at bedtime create a

37
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,280
digital business card tap to enable Bluetooth and start music playback when

38
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:47,879
you get in your car then tap again and turn everything off when you leave you

39
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,200
can enable your Wi-Fi hotspots you can just put one on your laptop boom ready

40
00:02:49,519 --> 00:02:55,680
to go you can check in and out at home with a text message so your parents

41
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:00,080
don't worry you can mute and dim the screen for school mode or other custom

42
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:04,519
phone modes that you set up for yourself and you can even do things like create a

43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,200
silent alarm to call 911 if you think you're in danger and so much more but

44
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:16,319
you guys aren't interested in all of that stuff you want to see whether you can use NFC to do an Easter egg hunt so

45
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:21,120
rather than hiding real Easter eggs this is Winner Takes all whoever finds all

46
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:27,360
eight Easter eggs back there well NFC tags and then uses NFC Reader in order

47
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:30,560
