Use QRcode & NFC, syncronise public network media resources using your smart phone, tablet or PC with Android, iOS, Linux and Surface apps. We are currently shaping up
- how to and write read NFC tags
- how to read and write QRcodes
- how to sync with OwnCloud
- how to use bitTorrent Sync
- how to open wireless network
OWN – The open wireless network where you live and work can be utilised to enrich cultural currency of network exchange and facilitate open sharing of information. Signalling the status of OWN succeeds by word of mouth, access point splash screen, conventional print media, flyers, posters and popular press. Each of which can improve prospects for public infrastructure building and success of the network for all.
Tools to craft the qualities of interaction and interplay in promotion of media are widely available.
BtSync is an inspirational extension of bit torrent which advances the scope for p2p syncronisation of smartphones and PC’s. Its fee to install and operate on all the major mobile OS as well as for PC’s. it incorporates the use of QRcodes and passkeys to signal and effect access control between peers. Some controversy over its proprietary encryption persists despite the impressive capability.
OwnCloud offers a broader range of peer sharing facilities that includes sync options and is also available for free on most operating systems. Its a client server setup where registered users can author shared directories and build group collaborations.
QRcodes are the low resolution high contrast printed patterns in use for inventory tracking as well as a growing field of creative and pragmatic purposes. Many websites exist to offer on the fly authoring for a wide range of application.
NFC is an increasingly popular RFID system utilising low cost, close contact and customisable encoded ‘tags’ (stickers and smartcards) which respond to a burst of radio signal with the information held on embedded memory chips. They are easily read and writeable with free mobile OS apps.
We like ifttt.com for its versatility and power to drive systems in imaginative and extraordinary ways and aim to offer an equivalent for the management of syncronisation options, perhaps it offers a clue as to how further NFC/qrcode meddling can evolve..
The syncronisation of media between network users has long been popular with RSS and torrent methods proving most successful of all so far. BTsync offers some of the best of both examples by allowing for local media and publicly hosted resources to be reSynced.
