The best thing I saw was a NES emulator where someone made miniature cartridges with a NFC tag inside, which stored the network address to the ROM on a samba share.
I have a self-built NFC inventory system. Any time I buy a coin-op game, I program a hard tag that hangs off the keychain, and a sticker I slap on the back of the cabinet. Scanning it with a USB reader on an extension cable opens up my notes about it -- when & where I bought it, how much I paid, a work log of everything I've done with it, a list of things needing fixed.
It's mostly built on top of Emacs' Org Mode, there's a little Python program that handles the NFC stuff & the Lisp communicates with it.
we can automate checkout and return of makerspace library materials if we build it anyway - a cheap nfc sticker in each book makes it a swipe toggle away from self serve
I wonder how sensitive an nfc reader antenna can be - it'd rule to have a handheld device to swipe along rows of cds or dvds or whatever and having it flipping through the cover art as you scan past so you don't have to squint at spines in odd orientations and fonts
point at book, see synopsis page and reviews, records, heck - stores could have such useful apps and instead they just sell us out to their 893 closest third-party data processors.
@djsundog If you'd like a worked example, I have one of these bog standard cheap NFC readers, taped to the inside of the lid of a small plastic project box. The card or tag has to be held practically touching the outside of the box.

Little NES, little cartridges.

•@djsundog That's the trick.
We could have wonderful things, if no one was exploiting us.
