Tagging the City
During the 2007 Aarhus Festival (Aarhus Festuge) which ran from August 31st to September 9th, the Center for Interactive Spaces demonstrated a mobile blogging system based around 2D-barcodes. The mobile system supported information from the Aarhus Festival’s CMS to be linked to visual tags placed at specific places in the city of Aarhus, so users could receive updated, location-based information on their mobile phones simply by scanning the tags. Each tag also had an associated Weblog so users could easily leave their impression or photos and videos on the tag or read blog entries from other users. The blog functionality was built into the mobile application so everything could be done while in the city. Links within.

During the 2007 Aarhus Festival (Aarhus Festuge) which ran from August 31st to September 9th, the Center for Interactive Spaces demonstrated a mobile blogging system based around Semacodes tags (http://semacode.org). Semacodes are 2D-barcodes that support URLs to be encoded in visual patterns which can be scanned and decoded directly from mobile phones. The mobile system supported information from the Aarhus Festival’s CMS to be linked to visual tags placed at specific places in the city of Aarhus, so users could receive updated, location-based information on their mobile phones simply by scanning the tags. Furthermore, each tag had an associated blog so users could easily leave their impression or photos and videos on the tag or read blog entries from other users. The blog functionality was built into the mobile application so everything could be done while in the city. The mobile application was developed for Java Microedition (JME) and was supported by hundreds of different mobile handsets from different manufactures. For further information see:
