With all the standing around and waiting at bus stops, shelters offer a great way to interact with the public. BigBoard combined interactivity and augmented reality to promote the male grooming product Axe, known in the UK as Lynx. Because the bus stops are specific to a particular site the advertisers can play with the 'reality' of that location.
BigBoard created an interactive augmented reality sign for Axe, grooming products for men (known as Lynx in the UK).

Controlling computers through barcodes
Barcode Battler was a handheld games console produced in the early 1990s. The player would scan a bar code to generate a fighter and play against other barcodes. Despite the futuristic back story barcode battler was just a a dice game with each side weighted by generating numbers from barcodes. See http://barcodebattler.co.uk for a fan website of the console and http://barcodebattler.co.uk/gallery/photos/two.jpg shows the different barcode cards with illustrations of the fighters.
