Microsoft has also launched their 2D barcode sytem called “Microsoft Tag”… This system is even better and more direct than the QRCode, DataMatrix, Semacode etc… By simply reading the tag with your mobile device, it automatically connects to the site with more info on the given product, place, or information.
The tag that Microsoft is in development now, is also fully customizable, so a picture can act like the tag.
I see a lot of potential in this system that Microsoft is making, because it’s build on a new type of tag, called:
High Capacity Color Barcode (HCCB).

For more info on this go to:

We have been pushing designer codes for around a year and a half. We did the Louis Vuitton / Murakami code that is floating around and we hope that it will lead to more attractive codes being produced.

QR codes are on the uptake in Europe. Pepsi are printing QR codes on over 400 million cans and bottles in the UK.

Get writing I believe QR codes will be a heavy marketing tool for our future. I been playing around with them for months now and would love for them to hit main stream in the U.S I use http://www.beqrious.com/ to generate my codes because I can save them in a PDF file from that site, helps me when I want to print posters!

It’s great to see more and more news showing up in regards to 2D Barcodes and QR Codes in general.

Keep up the good work!

The only problem with the example of University of South Australia is that it links to a standard website. To really get a satisfying user experience the landing page should be mobile too. A standard website is just too inconvenient to browse and look at on your mobile phone – besides the fact, that it usually takes longer to load.

If you are interested in the field of 2D Barcodes, check out our site http://www.snappr.net where you can create, maintain your mobile content and print corresponding codes on shirts etc. hope you like it!

Cheers,

Thanks for posting this.
I remembered seeing an article about QR codes, but couldn’t find it.

Actually, I stumbled upon a great example yesterday (and will probably blog about it later) from the University of South Australia that uses them on its admissions brochure: http://www.unisa.edu.au/virtual/qr/default.asp

They have even a short YouTube video to demonstrate how it works.
