the Jazz mini is a beautiful and compact aluminum stand for your smartphone that

00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:18.880
even holds tablets up to 8 in Click now to learn more NFC for the uninitiated

00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:22.519
stands for nearfield communication and is a wireless radio communication

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:27.560
standard that is designed for very closeup and very power efficient

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:31.759
transmission of small amounts of data integrated NFC readers are a popular

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:37.000
feature on Android and Windows Phone smartphones and NFC tags can be found on

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:40.480
anything from movie posters to trigger a trailer to play on YouTube to food

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:45.680
packaging to direct you to the manufacturer's website for nutritional information and recipe suggestions and

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:49.320
as price continues to fall in the technology becomes more ubiquitous I

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

00:00:53.879 --> 00:01:00.199
have to run around and find NFC tags that contain useful functionality you

00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:06.159
can actually buy your own here is just such a device from Tagger Tagger near

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.560
wave type 1 NFC tags are like any NFC

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:12.799
tag they're made up of a couple of key components including a very small amount

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:16.479
of storage memory a radio chip and an antenna all of which is passively

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:21.680
powered which means they draw power from the device reading them that means you

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.640
can put them almost anywhere unlike some

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:28.640
other NFC tags they're designed to be applied unapplied bent creased and all

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

00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:38.040
layer with a frustratingly strong 3M Adhesive on the back side that we

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.600
learned the hard way should probably only be applied to surfaces that you

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

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:50.000
together like way to go Luke with that cautionary message in mind you can stick

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:54.280
them to almost anything they do have some limitations though we found that

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:57.520
they only really work very close up like almost touching so make sure there's

00:01:56.119 --> 00:02:01.600
actually enough clearance for you to get your phone next to it and they also

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

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

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

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:19.239
the big question here why would you want to buy your own NFC

00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:22.280
tags what can they be used for well with

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:24.560
an app like trigger which we highly

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.440
recommend you can set them up to do all kinds of things here are some cool

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:32.519
examples that we came up with you can generate email shopping list when you're

00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:36.200
out of stuff you can save Grandma the frustration of navigating menus on her

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:40.519
phone to place calls to loved ones you can set alarms at bedtime create a

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.280
digital business card tap to enable Bluetooth and start music playback when

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:47.879
you get in your car then tap again and turn everything off when you leave you

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:52.200
can enable your Wi-Fi hotspots you can just put one on your laptop boom ready

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

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:00.080
don't worry you can mute and dim the screen for school mode or other custom

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

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

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

00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:21.120
rather than hiding real Easter eggs this is Winner Takes all whoever finds all

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:27.360
eight Easter eggs back there well NFC tags and then uses NFC Reader in order

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:30.560
