Picturing a URL
05.24.2004

A new system called Semacode released this month provides software that uses camera phones to convert bar codes into URLs for browsing. The current version of the system is not perfect-it requires extra software and browser downloads to specific phone operating systems. But, with the growing use of camera phones, this type of system could be common in the next few years. Contact us for ideas on how you could use this to allow consumers to get additional product information, instant coupons and more just by taking a picture of a bar code.
