NFC and the web: It’s happening

NFC and the web?

• 2012: W3C formed the NFC Working Group

• Developing a standard API for web apps to access NFC devices

• Ensure that API is compatible with NDEF specs defined by NFC Forum

Hitting stride

• First public working draft landed in Januaryhttp://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-nfc-20140114/

• Read, comment, revisepublic-nfc@w3.org

Drafts take forever

I want to build something right now

Pushing the edge

• What do we have to work with?

Wait….don’t they both support Android?

• Yes...for Android Beam support

• All things NFChttps://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/WebNFC

• NFC support in emulatorhttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=916863

• Example code:https://github.com/svic/gaia/tree/master/apps/nfc-demo

• Firefox OS Flame has NFC

• Not a lot of talk from the API side, but some mentions in trackerhttps://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?q=label:Cr-OS-Systems-NFC

• Chrome App NFC libhttps://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-nfc

• Support for ACR122U / SCL3711• Works now

Psstff Justin!That’s a demo at best

Didn’t stop us from integration

• Chrome OS + NFC = kiosk goodness

In Conclusion

• NFC + web = it is happening– Yipee!

• It’s an evolution– I don’t think everyone is tossing out

their existing apps tomorrow

Thank you
