The document discusses research into smartphone owners' use of mobile technologies like NFC, QR codes, barcodes and augmented reality. It found that while many are aware of these technologies, actual usage is much lower, especially for NFC. The research also examined people's perceptions of using these technologies to interact with advertisements and found positive responses. However, education is still needed on what NFC is and how it works before adoption increases. Brands that use these mobile technologies were seen as innovative but not necessarily arrogant.
