Hi Makezine people, Rein gives us a demo of how you can create a coloured barcode and scan it with your mobile. By adding colour the information capacity of the barcode increases, this leads to many new ways of using the barcode. For instance: put a coloured barcode on a poster, scan it with your mobile and directly get the ringtone of that particular brand on your phone.Barcode + Colour + Mobile = ? - Link.

But how well does it work in non-white light?
Reply to this comment
He completely fails to mention just how much storage he has in his 'new' creation, just that its 'more'. Plus there are already barcodes with color used in existence.

colors are a horrible thing to add to barcodes, they can vary so much depending on the light, unless it's only using generic ROYGBIV and can accept tolerance.
