Microsoft's Physical World Connection AURA



SmartPhone has a great summary of Microsoft's barcode reading application AURA.

The AURA client automatically reads the barcode from the photo and submits a request to the Microsoft site with the barcode information, to look up the product information. It then shows the product description in the pocket Internet Explorer.

These 2 pictures demonstrate how a special lens is still required in order to scan a 1d code.

I was able to see a new PWC company that can read 1d (and 2d) codes without a special lens attachment. Stay tuned.
