A team of scientists at Edith Cowan University have developed an amazing new kind of color bar code that can hold large amounts of data. It’s called the Mobile Multi-Colour Composite 2D-Barcode, and they are apparently able to hold images, video or any other kind of data which can be literally “downloaded” by camera phones.
Uses with appropriate software could take a picture of the MMCC code with their phone, and the embedded digital content would be transferred to the device. And since the codes don’t connect to the internet, they will work even where there is no kind of cell or WiFi signal.

The new Mobile Multi-Colour Composite 2D-Barcode is amazing. Thus this mobile is available in the Philippines right now?

Does any one know what’s the capacity of their 2D barcodes?

Hi (again) Dan,
Wow, videos and music. Awesome…
I am looking forward to see how this complex QR Codes will work with iPhones. Before we launched the QR Buckle you can design yourself in Germany, we tried to decode the QR Codes (laser cut on Corian or metal) with different smartphones.
The iPhone camera couldn’t hardly decode a QR Code having a string of 100 characters encoded…
