Comments on: Exit ShotCode? Starbucks and Apple to the rescue! http://thenextweb.com/2008/01/26/exit-shotcode-starbucks-and-apple-to-the-rescue/ International technology news, business & culture Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:31:22 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: March Hare http://thenextweb.com/2008/01/26/exit-shotcode-starbucks-and-apple-to-the-rescue/#comment-360752 March Hare Sat, 20 Aug 2011 16:43:00 +0000 http://thenextweb.org/2008/01/26/exit-shotcode-starbucks-and-apple-to-the-rescue/#comment-360752 Realizing I'm a bit late here, but noticed a bit of an error here. The code used in the artists mockup above isn't shotcode. It's semacode, which while similar, does miss some of the advantages of shotcode (namely, being able to be read from any angle). And, at least at this point, the imatrix link does not in fact allow creation of shotcode, only semacode (or some variation of it). It's really a shame that shotcode seems to have died out though as it was a very promising technology for use at conventions. Realizing I’m a bit late here, but noticed a bit of an error here.

But real native shotcode software for the iPhone already exists: www.imatrix.lt It's an open system, you can create your own codes. This Starbucks ‘app’ is just a design mockup, made by an artist.

Big difference between them is that semacode is opensource and shotcode not. Also the way the look is different. Shotcode is round, Semacode square. This example is semacode btw and not shotcode. Want to know more; search on wiki, the information there is simple and mostly correct. @Patrick: Semacode and shotcode are basically the same but with different companies behind it.

Would be great if this would really work too. Wow, this is one of the best designed iPhone apps I’ve seen to date. Would be great if this would really work too.

Apple can make it a user experience and starbucks can give it scale in a nutshell but i wonder if the payment could be made even more transparent to the user... Google maps now can track mobiles based on triangulation and some companies use the same system to study shopping behaviours. I wonder how much tracking resolution could that technology have to provide a even transparent payment&delivery.
