Your next PC could be made of castor oil





FPcode

Here's something that makes a Sherlock Holmes out of users. But it's all Q.E.D. (quite easily done). The Fine Picture code (FPcode) embeds hidden content that is not visible on the printed surface, and could include photographs, illustrations, logos and other images. Nor does it require any additional printing devices or special readers. All it needs is a camera-phone or PC with Webcam loaded with the FPcode reader application, with which you scan the printed material. And voila, enriched content such as video, sound, images and text can be accessed. In the case of the demo, a Fujitsu rep scanned a poster of SMAP pop member Takuya Kimura with an FPcode-installed camera-phone, and unearthed a link to a Web page. Upon closer inspection, you can almost make out the faint yellow dots on the poster where the encoded data is "hidden".
