Bar Code Hopping in San Francisco
ScanPoint gives you the power to file documents quickly by capturing index criteria from bar codes embedded in a scanned document.
Since we love bar codes so much, we were glad to see one attached to the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.
Little by little, the City by the Bay is becoming scannable. Soon San
Francisco restaurants, museums and public monuments will be adorned with
little bar codes like those you find on the bottom of a cereal box.
Ultimately the idea is to make the city more navigable: A customer walks up to a restaurant that displays the bar code, takes a picture of it with a cell phone and then instantly downloads reviews, a menu and a wine list. Likewise, scanning bar codes on a bus stop could produce maps, and scanning a building could elicit fun facts.
