I work for a POS vendor and barcode scanners/printers are the bane of my existence. There are a lot of different types of barcodes and not all scanners will read all barcode types out of the box. Then you have to figure out what barcode type it is....

well this is interesting and all, but isn't even close to the whole story behind barcodes; like for example, the book industry uses a whole different system

Visit this site https://www.adazonusa.com/other-products/label-rewinders.html for more information on Label rewinder. Barcodes are becoming exceedingly popular as an electronic system of identification. They need to be generated using special software and then printed with the aid of a barcode printer. It can be easily categorized into two types based on the printing methods that are thermal transfer based printers and direct thermal based printers.

Just an Idea.... Why not put an automatic barrier strap/gate that opens up with a receipt barcode? just like in Car parks, Supermarkets, etc...?

You're still getting a little too excited. This is a simulation. None of this is final. But even the promise of this does not obviate the need for a phone, The interface certainly does not have the richness of a phone. And I've not seen them suggest this is a phone replacement.

There are areas where it will struggle:

Simply being able to see a large amount of information from the device and without interfering with normal sight. With my phone I can read quickly and then be back in the real world by looking up. I don't see myself reading reams of data with this thing. I'd love to try though!

The interface is different/more limited. You lose haptic feedback and long-presses to expose different functionality. I'd love to see how good a feature-rich note-taking app will work. Voice-recognition is the most likely use.

But voice recognition remains difficult and performs variably.

And nothing to say of how slow it might be to change networks, adjust settings etc. Many things might be locked down to ensure a smooth experience for the average user.


So, integration (or how Glass will be useful).

Glass will serve as a nice entry-point into the phone experience. You could open the notifications in Glass but you might want to focus on recording some video.
Or you hover on a film poster and have IMDB open up the details on the phone. You might have a lot of these moments in a day. Imagine building up a list of pictures, quick ideas/notes, something useful someone said and then take your phone out only when you sit down. Everything is there for review. Glass might be a very good inbox.

I could instantly sync my photos. It's thus backed up on the phone straight away (and later on the net) and could be auto-shared - I don't need to issue copious voice instructions. Same with video. Glass will gather data but you might want it to hand stuff off to the phone. And net access isn't always guaranteed.

Looking up real world objects, scanning barcodes, even raw data and have it converted into usable data. You could hold up your phone but it's a nicer experience to have a document rendering onto your phone while you look at a page of data or even take a phone call. And you don't have to get the phone out of your pocket. Multi-tasking for the win!

I view pdfs and spreadsheets on my Note 2 all the time. I've not scanned much because it seems hit and miss and there's no cool software to do much with it. This would be amazing with my laptop. I often get printed documents or scraps of paper. Being able to instantly scan and digitise on the go would be almost revolutionary.

The point is Glass will be a very useful *extension* of the device you are already carrying around. Which people will be carrying around for many years to come.

I hope it's cheap as chips because getting it pinched off your face would be fun

Won't someone think of the flag!!




They have decided to go with just a giant barcode for the flag to reflect our great heritage of being for sale to the highest bidder.

Uh huh. I already got an answer on YouTube: "simple. redbox uses the same method as a vending machine. instead of getting candy however you get a dvd. each row has a number, you press a button on the outside which tells a computer inside the machine which row was selected and dispenses a dvd.
Except that doesn't explain how it knows where a returned movie goes.
To answer that, you've got to look in the center of the case, at the little knob the disc snaps onto.

There you will see a small QR-style barcode. This is how the machine tracks its internal inventory. In fact, since it has to track this stuff anyway, I doubt it has designated slots for each movie; It probably just reads the codes and knows what is where.


I'd love to see it in action inside!

I like the little geeky easter egg video they liked to in the video


Where does that barcode link go?

One thing is apparently clear. The shooter had extreme paranoia about government, and printed currency. I think the Palin map thing isn't the problem. It's all the assertions that government is far along in its plan to round everybody up, put a barcode on our arm, and throw us all in gulags. When people are really convinced of things like that, political violence is downright rational. I wonder if Alex Jones (aka John Birch Society v2.0) has applauded Loughner as a patriot yet.
