The phone that recognizes objects

Sega and NTT developed a system that allows Foma phones to recognize an object and give you information about it. the objects are of course Sega products and more specifically small statues.

So how does it work? Well, it's a bit like QR Code: you snap a pic of the statue, and the telephone will recognize it and download the latest info from the Sega website. this system will probably be implemented by NTT on their Japanese phones around April 2006.
