Mobile phone codes on the move
Posted by DavidM in Interesting stuff | 8 September 2008
QR-codes, barcodes read by mobile phones, have been around for a while. They are images that when captured by mobile devices can give you access to content on the web, and so on.
But a temporary installation in New York applies the idea in a novel way.
Taking over four corners of a chain link fence surrounding a redevelopment project, the Houston fence code has been made by filling the gaps in the fence, creating giant symbols.
Even cooler, the way the codes are read by mobile phones means that they deliver different content based on your speed - driving, cycling or walking.
How cool is that?
