Abstract

 

Imagine walking by a movie poster for the upcoming Harry Potter film and
scanning it with a click of your camera phone in order to download
associated ringtones, get showtimes, or even buy tickets. How about
snapping a photo while browsing through a magazine to get a free sample
of a new perfume? 

 

This may sound like science fiction right now, but in Japan, this type
of mobile search technology is widespread, and in the United States
similar services are already being developed, services that promise just
this type of virtual engagement with the world around us. This report
looks at the mobile Web landscape including, mobile devices, mobile Web
applications, library mobile initiatives, as well as how to create a
mobile experience and get started using the mobile Web.
