Jim,<br>
<br>
Can you provide any more information on the UPS use of bocode (or
bokod)?<br>
I couldn't find any mention with google.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is UPS looking at them to replace the Maxicode?<br>
Or trying to combine the Maxicode with the regular shipping codes?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Bob<br>

dreaming about for
years! I remember being excited about it a year or two ago when the
researchers
first started successfully experimenting with it over a significant
enough
distance to be useful. It looks like the technology is starting to move
from
R&D to commercial products, or will be very soon. I can't wait to
get rid
of all those computer power cables!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting, but I wonder if it would actually
garner
widespread adoption and completely replace, for instance, the
ubiquitous UPC
barcode. From the description, I would guess that it requires
specialized
equipment to produce, for starters. This might be a hindrance to those
individuals/organizations that produce their own barcodes from their
regular
daily-use printers. That fact alone would affect everything from
libraries
producing their own barcodes on books to US postal mail, which uses
address
information encoded into a barcode (which senders can currently produce
themselves).<br>
<br>
What I suppose I <i>can</i> see is manufacturers embedding the bokodes
in <i>conjunction</i>
with barcodes, to provide additional information...if the cost/benefit
is good.
And even then, used mostly for warehousing activities. Still, it would
have to
fight already-established RFID tags. But honestly, I can't see myself
taking a
picture of the cereal row in my grocery store with my cell phone or
PDA...to
pick out the cereal I want!<br>
<br>
My 2 cents.<br>
