Mobile Barcodes on Gravestones
People have been trying very hard to find new ways of using Mobile Barcodes (Datamatrix or QR Codes), to get the technology more mainstream. I posted recently about how the Petshop Boys used Mobile barcodes in their music video for Intergral.
Now its seems that a particular Japanese gravestone maker is embedding the QR Codes within gravestones, so that people are able to find out more about the person buried there.
A quick scan of the barcode with a Mobile Barcode-enabled mobile phone takes the user to a mobile page containing images, video and information about the deceased.
This probably has to be the most unique use for Mobile Codes that I have seen so far. Where have you seen Mobile Codes being used?
