Take for example, the video for the Toyota IQ. By showing the picture code to your webcam, a 3D image will appear and do all sorts of things. With the IQ, you can see the vehicle driving down a road as well as all of the parts that it is made up of. The picture images that make up the amazing movement is nothing more than a square picture with some pixels which can show a variety of different things. Learn more about them here.

That is where it all starts, and while most ads have the visible symbols, other companies may hide it so that it is not seen to the human eye. Like this twist on a classic children’s card game, Pokemon!

The ads haven’t taken the world by storm just yet, but are becoming more frequent in Europe compared to North America.

Definitely, a great benefit for the consumer. Check this video out from the Netherlands where public service employees are being attacked on the job. The billboard had an incident occur on half of the screen while passerby’s stared at their reflections.
