Basically an iphone or android app that holds a simple
virtual
machine, and is able to read a QR code or NFC tag and run
the code in the virtual machine.
This would encourage interesting programs that can fit into
a
single QR/NFC tag or a sequence of tags.

"interesting programs" |
|
|
The poor-man's version would simply be a website to point to and download whatever. |
|
|
A QR code is up to 3kB - that could hold Rrrola's Puls demo six times over... |
|
|
This could be just the thing to pressure an MUMPS language
vendor into supporting MWAPI! You can write a pretty
substantial App in less than 3KB in MUMPS, and with MWAPI
have a pretty rich and pretty API. |
|
|
The code has to fit inside 3kb, OK. But, what OS is running
the code? Or, more generically, the "code" you read could
be in Ruby, Python, PHP, javascript, etc, and then is
interpreted inside your generic VM/OS. That opens up the
constraints pretty wide. |
|
|
hmmm... well if the program is stored in an NDEF
container, you can define a MIME type (and trigger a
corresponding handler/interpreter app for it). |
|
|
E.g. Atari games on a QR code anyone? "Pyramid War -
Filesize 3.81 KB" |
|
|
The biggest issue is really size constants, so hence why
the constraints might need to be tight, via a language
that is compiled as bytecodes. |
|
|
Alternatively, you could just compress it... then you can
use something like html. etc... |
|
|
Still there is something to say about atari games on a
single QR code... |
|
|
You'd have to print the code pretty big for it to scan
reliably. |
