Mobile codes are much the same as barcodes you find on nearly every packaged product but the possibilities of mobile codes are almost endless! Using mobile codes is much the same as going to the checkout, having your product scanned and the product description and price coming up on the register screen. However, by using a mobile phone with a camera scanner, you can scan in a code (like the one to the left) which opens your phones web browser and takes you directly to a site! If you scan in the mobile code here, you’ll be taken directly to http://digitalidol.vox.com
In many countries, you’ll find mobile codes in magazines, on buildings, tee-shirts, billboards… just about anywhere! It’s easy to generate a mobile code and it doesn’t just have to be a code linked to a website! It could be a message to someone or maybe a phone number.
