AURA: A mobile platform for object and location annotation
Marc A. Smith, Duncan Davenport, Howard Hwa · 2003
In this paper, we describe a system used to link online content to physical objects implemented with commercially available pocket computers using integrated bar code scanners, wireless networks, and web services. We discuss our design goals and technical architecture and describe applications that have been constructed on this architecture. We describe the role of the related web site to create communities around scans collected by the handhelds.
