The day will come where reality/physical-world recognition, both images and sound (voice), will be the source for interactions.</p>
<p>Today, QR or 2d codes will continue leading the way, and even in the future (as described on paragraph above) they will have a place.</p>
<p>Today I saw a short video that shows how powerful the mobile handset is becoming, in this case, solving a Rubik's cube in seconds by using what seems image capture, advanced algorithms, and a power CPU. This triggered on me thoughts about the future of mobile as a computing platform to solve complex computational problems. Imagine a future where battery consumption was not an issue and where sets of mobile handsets are federated in real-time, thousands to millions of handsets, to solve complex computational problems, similar to how SETI used idle CPU on millions of home PCs...</p>
