Electronic ink could kill QR code

Wireless data transmitters that cost one penny to produce challenge limited QR code technology.

 

Researchers in Korea have devised a cheap way of transmitting data from objects to mobile phones when swiped.

They have printed small "rectennas", a cross between an antenna and an AC/DC current converter, onto plastic foils using electronic inks.

 

The rectenna uses radio waves emitted from a smartphone to transmit data to it from a tiny chip.

 

The printed rectennas cost less than one penny per unit to produce and could be used as an alternative to QR codes.

 

The technology behind them, Near Field Communication (NFC), is already used in devices that enable shoppers to make card payments by touch.

Beth Dichter's curator insight, January 6, 5:47 PM

This tool is new to me and is pretty easy to use. You create an account at HapYak and then bring in a video from either YouTube or Vimeo. You can add text boxes, insert images, freeze the video, and write on a video. The finished product is stored on their server. 
For directions on how to teach this check out this post, or to go directly to HapYak and see some of the videos other have created go to http://hapyak.com/.

And if you are looking for fairly short videos that students might like to write on check out the Vancouver Film School that is suggested in this post. Great videos that are about 3 minutes in length!
