semacode

somebody has developed the tagging software for my spiritual signage and spi-fi

Technically, a semacode is an optical barcode that contains a URL internet address. Practically speaking, it's a system that allows you to build applications that connect the real world with the virtual. Using the Semacode Reader technology, a user can scan a semacode tag and then with a single click connect to the web page or other internet resource right on their portable camera phone.

Semacode is a practical way to implement ubiquitous systems to perform a wide variety of functions including augmented reality, remote presence, interpersonal mediation and location tagging.

Application developers and general users can create their own semacode tags using the Tagger tools. It's a simple matter of typing in a valid URL and then posting the barcode wherever you like. Anyone is free to create as many different semacode tags as they like.

When you have semacode tags to read, the solution is the semacode Reader tools. The reader tool is available in many forms to suit the needs of different audiences. For example, there is Reader software for common Java Phones, smartphones, and also for PCs and internet servers. The Reader takes advantage of the camera that is found in most contemporary mobile phones.

The reader scans a digital photographic image and locates the semacode tag that's in the image. Then it reads the barcode and extracts the URL. Finally, it presents the URL to the user, and with the user's approval, loads the URL into the browser on the phone.

kubik are experimenting with this stuff, they say it works well...

Man I saw this a while back but didn't connect it to some of your work for some reason. :P the drain bamage.

I like a lot that kubik incorporates proper technology (not just calling projectors "technology") into their stuff. The SMS thing at their GB05 thing was sehr kul. Their domain name choice is also. Looking forward to a proper site sometime (isn't it all of us who actually do technology w/o the time to actually work on our own sites?).
