Imagine waiting at the bus shelter idly reading the poster for a new blockbuster movie. You whip out your cameraphone and snap a barcode-like image on the poster. Software in your phone decodes this and takes you to a website where you can watch the trailer and find out more about the film. Sounds cool?The world of the so-called 2D barcode is nearly upon us. After several false dawns, hyperlinks for the physical world are becoming a reality, thanks to mobiles with higher resolution cameras and the emergence of 3G high-speed connectivity. Subscribers to its i-mode internet service, for example, can generate their own 2D codes for printing on adverts, flyers and business cards. Marketers are particularly interested in a technology that enables consumers to interact with traditionally passive advertising. And it is easy to see how this technology could be extended.
Just imagination business people could scan each other’s business cards and instantly store contact details. Great, and have so many opportunity. In my country company Pakom make mobi-ticket. And that is the first step to have mobile huperlinks in real world.
