Magic Cards
Program RFID cards to trigger digital actions like playing music or movies using a Raspberry Pi.
What is Magic Cards?
Magic Cards is an open-source DIY project that allows users to program RFID cards to trigger digital actions, such as playing music, starting movies, or running scripts. It solves the problem of digital media overload and lack of physical interaction by providing a tangible, browsable interface for media control. The system runs on a Raspberry Pi with an RFID reader and offers a management console for card creation.
DIY enthusiasts, home automation hobbyists, and families looking to create interactive physical media controls, especially those wanting to involve children in media selection.
Developers choose Magic Cards for its simplicity, extensibility, and unique blend of physical and digital interaction, offering a hands-on alternative to voice or screen-based media control with easy integration into platforms like Sonos and Home Assistant.
