Mobile barcoding isn’t very new anymore. You’ve probably seen the QR-codes and Shotcodes by now. 2D barcodes that aren’t really advanced, they redirect you to a website or show a short text when photographed by a mobile phone camera. Recently Tom Gibara added a new chapter to the mobile barcoding book. He developed the Moseycode. A Moseycode holds much more information than any other mobile barcode. When photographing a Moseycode, your mobile telephone will reveal information like 3D pictures, locations and even allows you to add your own media to the repository/portal you’ve found. The content of the code isn’t static. The Moseycode barcoding system is specifically developed for Android. So we have to wait for a little while to put the Moseycode to the test. But did you already actually use a QR-code? A Shotcode? When you did, you probably were in Japan. Because commercial use of mobile barcoding in Europe or the US is still very rare.
With this last thing in mind, it is remarkable how many mobile barcode systems were developed in the last years. Let me give you a short outline. (more…)
