bigfoot: Maybe, but it would take several years in court to define "index." Unfortunately, the term has been largely bastardized by the patent community so that the definition is too nebulous for pure patent analysis. Search patent claims for "index, "indicium," "indicator," and "indicia" and you will blow up the search engine.

There are thousands of US patents related to AR, so NeoMedia would have the secondary job of overcoming existing art.

It might be best if they stick with barcodes. If they can't make it in a hot market, they have no chance in an emerging market lead by the Microsoft, Google and Apple.
