Salt & pepper pots

Remote controls

Similar shaped shoes but of different colours

Ketchup and other sauce bottles

Tablet/Pill boxes

etc

People with Alzheimer's, dementia or memory problems could use this app to identify photographs.

Attach a NFC tag to the back of a photo (wall mounted, desk or in an album) and record a clip of information about the person/people in the photo.

Equipment Identification - Stick a NFC tag to your routers or servers so you can scan and identify them.
