the business card app was the first developed by amnesia (a creative firm in sydney). it uses a little 24-bit code a bit like a QR code, that when scanned, pulls up extra information from the card like flickr photos, blog addresses etc.

the animation is pretty neat.. so I can't wait to see a developed version of it. it'd be pretty cool if it showed a welcome video from the owner of the business card, integrated with maps / personal GPS, to show the person's current location.. maybe even relay to the business card person that his card is being viewed and offer a video chat via skype. :)
