The radical - hep French gaming culture magazineAmusementrecently published an RFID - loaded special edition . The company was genial enough to ship me a copy to check out .
Essentially , the cartridge holder hope to bridge over the gap between print and vane medium by using an RFID bit to connect related online message . By using a USB RFID reader , theViolet mir : ror , I was capable to scan the chip and access additional content through my web web browser .

The ecumenical effect ? I ’d be lying to say it was much more than a fallal , but that does n’t think the estimate is bad . Amusement unite about 5 pieces of on-line content , including media clips and even a flash game , through the RFID chip . This part forge pretty well . Going instantly between a powder store and a playable game is pretty neat .
What did n’t work for me was that the RFID sign is n’t really marry to case-by-case tale . You ca n’t just flick a page and have relate message pop up . You wave the chip by the mir : ror ( I plainly ripped it out for public convenience ) , then a link pops up . You beckon it again , and another link pops up . There ’s not much rhyme or grounds to it , which is probably more a limitation of the applied science than a defect with Amusement ’s plan , but it made the experience ever so less futuristicy than I ’d hoped .
Still , Amsuement is on to a enough melodic theme here if publishers are able to press out the wrick . And as for the magazine itself , I bid it were reissue in English . The inspired layout and plan more than rival my favorite gaming magazine , Edge . [ AmusementandViolet ]
