Q: What is the Microsoft Tag Reader [App Store link] ? A: Microsoft's second Free iPhone app after Seadragon [App Store link] Q: What can I do with it? It reads triangle code tags, which tells your iPhone to do something. I call it triangle code because the code is not bar formed but triangle formed. The code may instruct your iPhone for example to open an URL in Safari. Q: How to read a code tag? Q: Take a picture from within the app. If you satisfied, tap on the Use Photo button. The app will execute the action embedded in the code tag. The best result is to take the picture from 15 -20 cm distance.
The following actions are possible:
- Call a secret phone number, after entering a secret password
- Open an defined web URL
- Show text
