Microsoft research project AURA

not sure if this is of any use to anyone but ive been able to run it on my Magician
http://aura.research.microsoft.com/Aura/AuraClient.aspx
Project AURA uses the camera to scan barcodes, ive seen a few of these previously from other companies,
they will even send you a free magnifier apparently LOL

so far i've not been able to scan any barcodes with success with my himalaya

Scan ok, but no website
On my Touch HD the scan worked fine (i can see the number of the barcode scanned) but the connection to the website does not work.
i looked to the site but it seems to be dead ;-(
so: barcode scan worked, but nothing behind aviable .....

Barcodereader

Is there an barcodereader to TD2?
If not,any tips of a good one?
Tried i-nigma barcode reader v1.40 but on my phone it
was so slow...

You can try Quickmark.
It' free for few type of barcode and handle 2D barcode.
With topaz can use autofocus for the camera.

I have a problem with registering on that site =( could someone provide the cab?
Would it work with normal barcodes from Europe?

hi...
Quickmark works also with EAN8/EAN13 Barcodes.
but for those codes you need an internet connection and the advanced version (cost 10$ / 7€)..
read this article...

There is as well i-nigma. It's free, but I do not remember if it supports EAN8/EAN13 barcodes.

Purhapsed...
But... What does it actually do? x)
I scan the code, it gets it
Then I get numbers, I press "acces" and it says Redirected List 0/5 Records
I can press "search the web"
Then I get a site: select from the search list below
*empty*
... (Yess the full version )
*edit*
I found it, it works now, ty!
*edit*
Should it actually do something with those codes?
Cause... Else I bought it with the wrong intentions
If I re-read everything I understand that it decodes the codes,
But... If I scan it, I want to do something with it, rather then knowing the code (I can read that myself...)
*edit*
I found it, it works now, ty!

Try barcorama.
works good, supports EAN8/13 - Code 128

[Q] movie collection app that syncs

looking for a setup like this, but for android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3389957&postcount=3
summary: an android collections app (movies mostly) that syncs with a windows program... ideally I could use the barcode scanner to enter new stuff with the phone
ideas?
thanks

Maybe the My Movies app will do what you want.

Check out GCstar for the desktop and GCstar Viewer for android (in the market)
Gcstar is a cross platform collections management tool. It imports and exports loads of formats. Works for games and books and whatever it us you collect. Currently the android app is just a viewer. I hope it gets some love as an input device soon...

I use Movie Collector from Collectorz.com
I had the iPhone version of it for a few years and recently switched to the Android version. It has a desktop app that you can scan barcodes into and then the phone app that you can sync your collection to.
You can't scan the barcodes with the phone yet, but they say that they plan to add that feature.

although lacking the scan feature, otherwise this will work great, the fact I can enter the name and it will search all the other details makes it almost as easy as a barcode scanner anyways.
I could use some help figuring out how the csv import feature works... other then that, I thank you much for the input guys

Did you sort out your CSV issues...
I notice that the default separator is a semicolon when I open the importer. If you have a bunch of data in a comma separated file then you should change the semicolon to a comma. Also, you have to make the appropriate adjustments to the "fields to be imported" to let it know what is what.

Can I just ask....is there much practical advantage in barcode reading - or is it just a passing fad.....or only there because it's possible and not because of what it can do in practical terms?
If folks have practical application for this (and i'm not talking about reading those ruddy codes you see on advertisements), please let me know.....as I'd like to know if I'm missing out on anything!

I've been wondering some of the same.... the benefit of the QR Codes is simply that it's a shortcut to eg. an internet URL (but could be to anything you can create a link to such as a document on a server, Sharepoint, etc.). Which, when it works is vastly quicker than typing in an address manually.
This one gives the same URL as for my signature ROM....

I've just gone over to i-nigma which seems to be a very simple implementation and works properly.

[Q] Using NFC to open Local PDF file

Hello My names Rodger and I work for a small plastics company in Alabama. we would like to use NFC tags on are molds to track setup sheet and part information. we would like to load all this information onto a android table in PDF format and use NFC tags to open the specific file for the given tool. I have look at NFC Smart Q, NFC Tagwriter and a hole bunch of other NFC writer in the Play store. BUT none of them well open a PDF file. it just opens the adobe viewer but not the PDF file. they will open a audio file, a picture file, and even a movie file but not a PDF file, Word document, or a Excel spreadsheet. Now I have look at a windows tablet and it appears to work on windows, but I would much prefer android to windows mainly because I can get a android tablet with NFC for half the cost that a windows one cost. it seams like there should be a simple way to do this.
Is there a simple way to write a URI that will open a PDF or is there an app that will do this. any help would be appreciated.
