Calling all innovators! Please read! Ring bounty for invention!
-
I'm kinda leaning towards allowing anything that contributes meaningfully to the community. The main post says invention but what we want most is to take over the world... Or just make everything interact with a ring, be it through hardware or software. We don't want 30 copies of MrStein's exact car starter, but I'll allow 30 different ways of doing it!
Software to utilise the ring would be excellent, I think that'd be great if you could set it up to do the single sign on thing @julian.
@DogTag, I won't stop you from doing anything, it's just got to be worthwhile, something that benefits everyone in the community. -
I support @Lokki here. I think the real world impact of contributions are subjective and we really should encourage all experimentation at this point.

I didn't think I said that out loud, @Lafunamor ... Drat.

I've received a random handful of QA Visual Failed NFC Rings! Now is the time to start putting your hands up for projects, guys! Chop chop!
-
Just to be clear, we want well written guides (with screenshots/pictures please!) for general use of the ring as well as other things like projects to build and software that utilises the ring for various things.
Post in here and tell me what you're going to do, I want to see some action and need to give these rings to contributors! Don't be shy! @DogTag give us a guide with your script and make a seperate thread in here for it and I'll send you one! @julian if you write your plugin I'll do the same! -
Do I get one for my Visual representation of how to orientate the ring to a phone through the medium of MSpaint.
-
Lol, sure. But you're gonna have to do a nice set of written instructions as well for each panel, can't be confusing people. ;-)
-
ahaha @NFCringTom worst mspaint ever, go download inkscape and embrace being awesome.

...I don't know, I've seen worse ;)

I've started handing these ones out, MrStein will get a few, Nairod gets one (he's shown me his work in progress and where it's at and will do a full write-up and share shortly), and one of the visual fail + inlay fail rings has winged it's way towards a galaxy S5 for testing.
If you want one, put your hand up for it, tell me what you'll do and lets make it happen!
-
Finally receive my new arduino, pics as soon as I receive the ring dudes :)

Hi,
Am I to late for the party?
I'm currently building an application to authenticate and unlock windows via the nfc ring. Unfortunately I will have to wait till my rings arrive to actually test it.
If anyone is interested I can share the source (I do it anyways, when it's in a state where it can be tested...). -
@RobinHuett, Nope, you're right on time mate. Private message me if you could.

If anyone is interested I can share the source (I do it anyways, when it's in a state where it can be tested...).I can help you test it, maybe even help you with the application itself. I had started an application of my own, but Real Life happened and it's been put on hold until Real Life goes away.
PM me your contact details and maybe we can work together on this!

First pics in few hours :D
-
Excellent, looking forward to that! :-)

Pinky: "Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?"
The Brain: "The same thing we do every night, Pinky—use our NFC Rings to take over the world!" -

Ok I have spent most of my work life in the jewelry field currently am a CAD designer, can I please get the dimensions on the ring and possible the size of the unit inside so I can build around it I will happily design some items.
