The Raw Feed: Japanese Gravestones Let the Living 'Call' the Dead by Shannon at 9:29 am EDT, Apr 11, 2008
A Japanese gravestone maker called Ishinokoe (Voice of the Stone) plans to sell GRAVESTONES WITH BARCODES embedded in them. Anyone with the right kind of cell phone can simply scan or snap a picture of the stone, and get information on the departed. The barcodes will be QR codes, otherwise known as "matrix codes" or two-dimensional bar codes. (props to CScout Japan)
