Using Arduino or Raspberry Pi - Use a NFC/QR code reader to read a NFC / QR token and display content on LCD screen

Viewed 14

I have extremely limited experience in coding 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 , LCD screen and maybe a wifi module in order for it to display a website.

Something like this, but to a external small LCD display

Picture description of Project

I know there is a extremely simple way without coding 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/website" would be displayed on the screen that they can interact with. Different tokens would be different games.

Therefore, I was wondering if I could use either Arduino or Raspberry Pi to do this and the equipment / coding experience I would need.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance from a extremely novice coder.
