QR code / NFC reader Arduino module to LCD colour picture display

[christinac28]

Hello, I have extremely limited experience in Arduino and just wanted some advice on the feasibility of a project before I get started.

Essentially I want to imbed a NFC chip or QR code into a Token/Chip. The Token will be linked to a website / still picture dependent on the feasibility. I then want to put the chip on a flat surface that will be imbedded with a NFC/QR code reader and have the output website/still picture displayed on a coloured LCD screen.

I have seen some tutorials on screens that only display words, but none with pictures and websites. I am not sure if this project is feasible or if I would need any speciality equipment. From my understanding, I will need a QR code or NFC reader module for Arduino, LCD screen and maybe a wifi module in order for it to display a website.

I have attached a picture as well.

I know there is a extremely simple way without Arduino to use a phone to scan a QR code/NFC chip, but I would love to do it without the phone and have the content displayed on a small LCD screen. In a ideal world the user would have multiple tokens, they would place any token on the reader and a "game" would be displayed on the screen that they can interact with. Different tokens would be different games.

Also wondering if this would be easier on a Raspberry Pi

Any help is appreciated per the equipment I may need or the coding I may potentially need to do.

Thank you in advance from a extremely novice coder.

I believe you would be better off with a raspberry pi if you want it to display the website linked in the tag rather than just the URL. I don't know much about NFC, but QR codes can technically hold an image, thought they would have to be extremely small (and you'd have to have a program that expects/can decode an image). A link would be better.

Not many 'games' run on an Arduino, so you probably want something like a tablet and web games. To me, this sounds like a job for a cheap Android tablet.
