Slim down your wallet with your iPhone - membership cards on your iPhone
Posted by: admin in Mobile
The gym, the grocery store, the movie theater, the local SCCA chapter. The list of organizations requiring membership cards to verify a person's good standing goes on and on. But, that doesn't mean you need to pack you poor old wallet full of barcode-bearing membership cards.
Albert Alberts has come up with a novel way to rid his wallet of stated membership cards with his iPhone. He scanned all cards, front and back, and uploaded them to a specially-created album within iPhoto. The result was an accurate depiction of the membership cards' barcodes on the iPhone's multi-touch display.
The barcodes on the iPhone's screen apparently scan perfectly! But, don't let lack of an iPhone stop you from putting your membership card on your handset. If your display is big enough, you'll most likely be able to scan and upload the photos to your mobile phone just the same.
I'll be scanning all my cards soon. It's going to be nice to not have to keep track of my gym membership card - I've already gone through five or so.
