This document discusses emerging audio-visual fingerprinting and vision-based technologies. It mentions companies that Pixels.IO works with like Hulu and YouTube. It also discusses using camera devices to see differently than humans through technologies like Bokode, which can embed imperceptible visual tags in images for camera-based interaction from a distance. Pixels.IO develops proximal technologies using approaches like barcodes, audio signatures, digital watermarking and steganography to reconnect people with the physical world.

9. Rich interaction through
visible light

10. basic setup
Encoding information in the display for both the
human and our device will result in new
interaction
