Ubiquitous access to relatively high quality imaging - from digital cameras and phone cameras - has changed the way in which consumers and retailers interact with their environment and products. Barcodes and other printed marks containing information can be used to link interested parties to virtually any information of interest, often by re-directing their internet-enabled device to the appropriate webpage.
