We're using different technology to do the same thing. Digimarc's MediaBridge lets you embed an invisible watermark into an image that, when held in front of a PC camera (with the correct software loaded), takes you to a web page. You can also use it to track use (authorized or unauthorized) of your images online. You can read more about it at http://www.digimarc.com

In today's _Boston Globe_, technology reporter Hiawatha Bray (what a cool
sounding name) reports on CuCat, a infra red scanning device from Digital
Convergence Corp (DC), which when plugged into a computer, can read a bar
code and then automatically launch a browser to open to a web page/site
associated with that bar code.
