Considering the Chromecast is plugged behind the TV, wouldn't it be really awkward to get to to tap on it?
Btw, Google has a series of APIs called Nearby (https://developers.google.com/nearby/ https://developers.google.com/nearby/) that are all about connecting to nearby devices but NFC doesn't seem the right answer here.
- Navarr 11y agoChromecast isn't the right brand for what the author is suggesting. But what the author is suggesting is a really neat idea. But it's no different from having a touchscreen with an NFC contact point. The Chromecast brand has nothing to do with it. Such a box could easily be a Chromebox - with NFC & Beacon support.
- maxwellito 11y agoThe only reason I mention the Chromecast is because it's a quite popular device, cheap, easy with an existing ecosystem of apps. But yes, this would work with anything able to display a webpage (:Raspi..) :)
