Semipedia connects virtual to physical

SemipediaSemipedia is one of a handful of organizations working to make cameraphones the vital link between the physical and virtual... in this case, between the physical and Wikipedia.

Here's how it works....Semipedia supplies a small mobile client to read tags, like the one on the left (representing a link to the Semipedia entry on Wikipedia). You create the tags at the Semipedia.org - by inputing a Wikipedia page you want to connect to. Each tag represents a unique Wikipedia page.

Any physical object or space can be marked with a Semipedia tag. Anyone with a supported cameraphone can learn about that object by using the phone as a scanning device and following the link.
