Another cool purpose for your Cell Camera - Annotate the Planet, one bar code at a time.
Advanced User Resource Annotation system (A.U.R.A.)
"The Advanced User Resource Annotation system (A.U.R.A.) is designed to provide the ability to access and author annotations on objects and places using machine readable tags. In our system, a user can associate text, threaded conversations, audio, images, video or other data with specific tags. Users can also review the tags and descriptions of the objects they have encountered and annotated in a custom web portal. Users may selectively make the items they have scanned public to other AURA users resulting in a collectively authored database rating, reviewing and commenting on a wide range of objects, products and places. Physical annotations can be shared with other users and selected by users’ reputation statistics and other properties."
AURA (Advanced User Research Annotation) Download
"The AURA client runs on a Windows Mobile device, enabling a user to scan bar codes of objects with a camera and upload a scanned bar code to the AURA Web service. Other upload sites can be configured."
Take pictures of, scan, bar codes with your cell phone's camera and annotate and upload.
A real-world products meet social networking kind of thing.
I think these kind of products and services are going to be the break through thing for cell phone cameras. Think "find this person" by picture. Or find "cars like this one." Or additional information about "this pictured place." Or news reporting of live events as it happens from different angles (with geo-coding of course).
Snap, upload, analyze, results.
