Abstract

In this paper, we explore new ways in which Near Field Communication (NFC) can be used on smart phones. Imagine a world where a tap of your mobile phone provides secure, keyless, and card-less access to your home, car, hotel room, workplace even mass transit automatically paying and checking you in as necessary. Or maybe you wave your mobile device at a product or an advertisement to access more information, read reviews, and compare prices with other suppliers in your local area. Even walk through a museum or gallery and launch companion audio and video presentations to enhance your experience with a swipe of your phone, connecting the virtual world to your physical world. This Paper presents the promises and the pitfalls of NFC technology that will change the coming world.
