Just print a QR code on a metal tag. How is this news?
It seems more of a gimmick to get people talking about Ring (so job done).
Just print a QR code on a metal tag.
You could use an NFC tag, even print a QR code on the back for redundancy.
I’m sure there are already services to engrave QR codes on dog tags. Looking on Amazon I can get 2 for the same price as this one.
Or you could put your phone number?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Ring Pet Tag essentially puts a QR code on your dog or cat’s collar, which links up to an app.
If the unthinkable happens, someone can scan the QR code and help reunite the lost pet with its owner.
The QR code is linked to a pet profile that can include information like health conditions and, most importantly, an optional “contact me” feature that starts a two-way communication with the pet owner.
While you could easily put a regular collar tag on your pet with your phone number, this QR code shields your number, ZIP code, or any other personal information that people frequently place on pet tags.
It can also list unique markers, health conditions, medication details, and microchip numbers.
It’s literally just a QR code, so there’s no GPS or Amazon Sidewalk integration, and it’s nothing like putting an Apple AirTag on your pet.
