Copy-paste from a computer to a mobile phone through 2D-barcodes
This page is a demonstration of multi-device Web interaction (migratory interface between computer and mobile phone),
where the session’s ID is sent from the client’s computer to the same client’s mobile phone
through a QR-code
(it could be done just as well using a Datamatrix
or Semacode). Read more on:
