Tuesday, January 1, 2008 12:31
Spektacle boast to be the first QR magazine in teh world. QR is a little square barcode that exists for many years now and lately is used in conjunction with mobile (camera) phones which, with the right program, can decode it.
One of the most well known uses of QR is for internet addresses. For instance the following QR means http://www.internetakias.gr/english/ (it was generated at http://qrcode.kaywa.com, a QR generator)
If you had installed on your mobile phone the QR recognition application it will read it and take you straight to that address (a well known QR recognition program for your mobile phone is i-nigma)
Spektacle is published every 2 months and is the only one that uses QR codes. This magazine is only useful to someone who uses QR codes on his mobile. If thought you are a QR fan then by buying the magazine you get new things to read for 2 months, straight on your mobile phone, just pointing at the QR.
You can buy the magazine in electronic form7,5 GBP or printed from here.
