You would just use an regular EAN barcode for that!

Here are a few examples among many:

  * Adverts in which the product pops out in 3D, you can look around
the product by wandering around the advert and looking at it through
your phone. It might be interactive, allowing you change styles/
colours etc.

  * Keyboard free authentication: a website can display a moseycode
barcode, view it with your mobile phone and the site can log you in
without you touching your keyboad. It can do this because the your
phone can contact a designated server for each different barcode. The
viewing might even be 'location locked' so that with GPS, even if
someone stole your phone, they would still need to view the barcode
near to your machine to authenticate themselves.

  * Imagine games played on a table where all the 'pieces' are
represented by barcodes on squares of paper. Looking at them though
your mobile phone you can see the 'virtual' pieces, perhaps in full
animated 3D. The interesting part is group games: you all get round
the table and play, with each player looking at the play area through
their own phone. They all see the game in 3D from their perspective
through their own phone. The interesting part is that the game could
be written to show different players different things. Eg. players on
the same team might be able to see more information about each others
pieces, it might be used simulate fog of war etc. (I'm very interested
in this idea and may take some time to tackle designing and writing
such a game when I have more time, I think it might be possible to
come up with a genuinely original game concept, a rare thing IMO).

Hopefully people might find some of these ideas stimulating.
