    Default Barcode Scanning Application POC

    Hi Guys,
    I just dropped in to share news of a little project of mine
    This is not a release, but rather a demo/news, or whatever, as I believe it
    is a world first of a barcode scanner application for the PSP with YouTube videos to proove it

    http://www.freewebs.com/defxev/PCS.htm

    Direct YouTube links in case the embedded videos don't work:


    The video was required so you could hear the voice speaking!
    Cheers, Art.

    This is funny! It would be even more useful, if it would work with the psp camera...

    At first I thought it my use ir, but then I became not stupid about barcodes being made of paper.

    Apart from "Just cause i can" - why would anyone want to do this? As well as that, who even thinks of attaching a bar code scanner to a PSP.

    I'm not bagging this out, i think its cool cause a lot of effort would be put into it. I'm just curious as to how people think...

    If you go the website he supplied he tells you thats it's very easy to hook one up to the psp and they are cheap, I imagine if you looked around enough you could find one . This would be fun just walking around in a store using.

    Not really.

    On a technical side, bar codes on products dont store any information apart from their number. The number is used to look up information in a database (hash-tables, direct look-ups, etc) to find out their associated product name, price or what have you. (Sort of mentioned on his website).

    So, in other words, if you walked around a store scanning stuff, you wouldn't get anything (apart from the number) unless you have the entire stores inventory database stored in your PSP somewhere or wireless accesst to the database on the stores network...

    it would be cool if he could make a scanners homebrew game, where each different scan is a monster to fight.
