We used a combination of the following technologies to make this engaging and creative content available to your mobile device. Get those mobile scanners ready and download some mobile coupons! QR or Quick Response Codes are a square two-dimensional barcode that can be read using a scanning app downloaded to your Smartphone . Once you download a reader, the phone's camera acts like a scanner, allowing it to "read" the barcode and reveal the content embedded in the code. Digital Watermarking - Invisible to the human eye, Digital Watermarking Technology allows users to embed digital information into audio, images, video and printed materials in a way that is easily detected by computers and digital devices. Digital watermarks are invisible barcodes. You embed digital information in pictures or behind text, creating an invisible hyperlink from the printed page to online content. Readers can't see digital watermarks, but they are easily detected by our Smartphone cameras. For best scanning results, scan 4-7 inches above center of image in a well lite area.

With the camera and sensors in a smartphone or tablet, AR adds layers of digital information – videos, photos, sounds – directly on top of items in the world around us. (Source: Layar)
