I was hanging out this cold and dreary Saturday afternoon and being the geek
that I am... :)... was just browsing around catching up on 2D bar coding
developments.<br>
<br>
I happened to stumble across this link about a new 2D encoding standard called
"MoseyCode"<br>
(in the first breath I went - Oh brother just what we need yet another 2D
encoding standard.....even if he Tom Gibra is releasing it without any patent
encumberances).<br>
<br>
Have a read below<br>
<a
href="http://thenextweb.org/2008/01/05/moseycode-a-new-chapter-in-mobile-barcoding/">http://thenextweb.org/2008/01/05/moseycode-a-new-chapter-in-mobile-barcoding/</a><br>
<br>
What was interesting however is this<br>

Although Peter's blog post doesn't explain it very well what you are seeing is
the the introduction of a 3rd axis.<br>
<br>
Instead of 2d codes just having X & Y axis information, the Moseycode can
tell when the information is 'tilted' and introducing a Z axis.<br>
<br>
The Cube in the video above is being superimposed on the Moseycode Card itself,
allowing for a 'visual superimposement' on the Android display of any object
you decide to 'upload' (I have questions about this as per my post reply
below-so looking forward to understanding the limitations).<br>
<br>
Now whilst I have very big concerns about the 'functionality' of this and the
usefulness in a number of situations about this - there are certain areas where
this has some very neat uses.<br>
<br>
I wanted to post on my blog the reply I sent to Peter. I will also be sending Tom
Gibara some questions and will post below in the comments further information
as it comes to hand but like I said.....interesting and I thought it might
interest a few of you out there.</span></font><font size=5 color="#666666"

<em><i><font face=Georgia><span style='font-family:Georgia'>I read Tom's
documentation (as brief as it is) and whilst it has some interesting points
there I think (honestly it's only a guess as the information provided at the
moment isn't enough to actually make a conclusion) that what is occurring in
these videos is the android OS is downloading visual information from a web
server and inserting it into the x,y,z axis.</span></font></i></em><br>
<br>
<em><i><font face=Georgia><span style='font-family:Georgia'>Whilst this is neat
and 'nice' (particularly the 3 dimensional cube demonstration- for reasons too
lengthy to go into here), it doesn't allow for 'inbuilt' coding of any more
information at 96 bits than other standards.</span></font></i></em><br>
<br>
<em><i><font face=Georgia><span style='font-family:Georgia'>2d codes are often
about providing information 'on the spot' in a self contained situation without
needing to go 'out elsewhere' to gather information.</span></font></i></em><br>
<br>
<em><i><font face=Georgia><span style='font-family:Georgia'>I love that
Moseycode is going to be free of patent constraints and I love the 3d (really
the Z axis) component but wonder if this is going to be enough......would also
be very interested in understanding the ramifications of moving the code to
other backward mobile OS (and what kind of physical constraints are required
for the camera hardware).</span></font></i></em><br>
