One click to effective (mobile) interactions

I argue that for mobile interactions such as (smart/2D) barcodes and NFC to really takeoff, they must be “one click away”…

OK, no surprise there.

But what I really mean is that cellphones should have an explicitly designed and easy to reach “interaction” key/button to initiate the desired interactions… Perhaps a key-button to activate NFC and/or the camera. Users can easily activate and search or do appropriate action based on the type of interaction.

The “interaction” key/button… to effective mobile interactions.

    I’m not sure if that will ever happen for the majority of devices, but it will be interesting to see how it evolves. In the meantime, there is a company who is doing barcode interaction via MMS, so no downloaded application or data plan. http://www.jagtag.com/

    Yes it is a thought…

    Yes on JagTag (and similar). JagTab appears to be introducing their own visual tag as well.
