Near Field Communications (NFC) Forum
Near Field Communications, a technology originally developed by Philips and Sony, is starting to pick up speed thanks to last year’s creation of the NFC Forum. Its membership is growing, as is the technology that spawned it, but NFC is still in its infancy with only a smattering of projects to look at.
The NFC Forum was created last year by Nokia Corporation, Royal Philips Electronics, and Sony Corporation to promote the NFC technology or, as the release announcing the forum’s inception, said: “To enable the use of touch-based interactions in consumer electronics, mobile devices, PCs, smart objects and for payment purposes.. The new forum will promote implementation and standardization of NFC technology to ensure interoperability between devices and services. The vision of the NFC Forum is to enable users to access content and services in an intuitive way.”
