Mobile phones with built-in cameras are increasingly investigated mediators for interacting with real-world surroundings and fetching annotated digital information. In this paper, we introduce a novel mobile interaction approach exploiting common barcodes attached to consumer products such as books and CDs. The proposed mobile application follows a “Magic Lens” metaphor to directly overlay barcodes with requested digital information facilitating a quick comparison of products. We evaluated the prototype in a real-world setting and outline our experiences from these tests.
