In Japan, people have been using barcodes to access information using their mobile phones for a few years now. Placed on billboards, business cards, and other advertising media, consumers take a picture of barcodes and the software program inside the mobile phone directs them to the corresponding website. Now, a company called Augme.com had designed a line of T-Shirts with barcodes that can be scanned easily using a mobile phone device.
For small and large businesses, this type of advertising is inexpensive and could become very popular. Those wearing the T-Shirts can promote their favourite companies or products, or advertise their own businesses. The barcode on the shirt is called a ‘tag’ and can be scanned by any mobile phone device that has the technology to read and download the information.
