How to Setup NFC with Unity?

Hello everyone! I have been wanting to experiment with NFC technology within Unity and was wondering if anyone had any success using an external NFC reader/writer on Windows (not Android)?

If someone who has looked into this could give me the general direction I would need to get going, I would greatly appreciate it! It seems as though there are little to no resources available on this topic. I have seen instances of people using this technology with Unity, but I can't find anything about it in the Unity documentation.

For instance, does the USB connected reader/writer need to transfer information to a database where it is then read by Unity? I'm just guessing here, so I could be way off.

Thank you very much!

 

Hello,
I would like to develop a game with Unity which uses an external NFC reader/writer on Windows.
Have you found any information that may be useful to me?
I also could not found anything in the Unity documentation.
I'll apprecciate any help.

 

Hey there! we have the same challenge, did you guys find a solution?

 

You'll have to find a binary DLL that interacts with the hardware; this DLL can be imported and used by Unity.

 

We missed 2018 and have two entire replies in 2019. What a shame.
