So, this technology allows me to easily identify
products and retrieve some associated website?
Mid-July I read an article saying that Toshiba
is working on a laserpointer-like device, that
will send out some unique signature, so you can
identify yourself easily. One of the ideas for
usage was: If you're arriving at some airport,
you point to the next infoterminal and you will
see for example an individualized description
where to pick up your rented car....
But I think, the new UMTS in connection with
some localization system (GPS or whatever) will
render that stuff useless (Probably our new
'mobile information terminals' will include
scanner and laser pointer - who know's?
