iMatrix for iPhone: Information is one click away!
Principally new kind of solution is available for iPhone users now - iMatrix application offers 2D code recognition service that replaces manual typing by simple snap-shooting of special square pictures via built-in camera. Target iMatrix code and touch the screen – the rest magic will be done by application: it recognizes code, extracts digital ID from it and requests web service about what it is. Then, according to associated with the code information, it can open URL via Safari, show map in Maps, create new contact in Address book, add new event to your Calendar, write a message to your Notes or initiate phone call or e-mail message.

Where can we get these pictures? Register on www.iMatrix.LT and create as many as you need. Once you posted information you like to share with community or within private group only, system gives you a link or picture you can place anywhere: on business cards, flyers, magazines, products’ etiquettes (labels) or on your web site, Blogs and so on. Anybody can use iMatrix application to capture image and instantly get data you provide without any manual processing.
This service opens new commercial and social opportunities because it creates a bridge between online content published on web and mobile terminals. Users can access information directly, without annoying typing of unreadable URLs, error correction and so on.Next smart feature is that iMatrix application has built-in local storage for codes (tickets) and engine for its visualization. You phone becomes club card, discount card, e-ticket or pass to exhibitions. Invent you own application…
More over, this service is an iPhone optimized add-on to existing Matrix service oriented to ordinal Java enabled GSM camera-phones and, hence, can have much wider auditory than iPhone community.

To real benefits we can add a fact that service keeps your privacy because it substitutes phone number or e-mail announcement by shooting a picture. Registration on project’s site does not require any of your private data – just password and imaginary user name.
At last, service offers automatic indexing for Blogs or news portals.
Would be great to find this feature built into next iPhone versions.
iMatrix was developed by Sergey Odinokov, Vilnius, Lithuania. More information is available here: http://www.iMatrix.LT
