I think augmented reality hardware of the future (and smartphones too) will quickly replace QR codes with Near Field Communication.

- derefr 14y agoThis assumes everything is capable of being powered. QR codes can be printed on paper, chiseled into stone, engraved into metal; NFC hardware, for the most part, can't. (And even where it can, it won't last nearly as long as the equivalent code. Passive technology usually greatly outlasts active.) There will indeed be a great amount of NFC- and RFID-triggered hypertext in the future, but there'll probably be just as much QR, serving complementary rather than competitive purposes.
