the technologies have overlap in many use cases but are complementary, QR Codes need to be visible and NFC (as the "Near" implies) requires a receiver to be near; you also need to program an RFID chip to do NFC, for QR Codes all you need is a printer or a screen, again very different use cases from the publisher standpoint as well; I guess Google's choice has more to do with what they want Google places to turn in to that with a choice of technology by itself

All very nice but based on my 5 year of project management, I'm fairly confident to say that organizing work like this will only be successful with a lot of luck. Every project or every product that gets developed has a moment where "things go wrong"(tm) and having external constraints (like deadlines, backlogs, ...) reduces the risk of failure ... a lot. I'd only try the approach from the presentation if your team is made up out of very disciplined, skilled people with the full benefits and responsibilities of the outcome.
