101 Uses For Quick Response (QR) Codes: Creating Audience Engagement With The Next Killer US App

By December 31, 2010, a major broadcast or cable TV network and one or more national brands – or Facebook – will do for QR codes in the U.S. what American Idol did for mobile texting. If you work at a major broadcast or cable network or major U.S. consumer brand and are first (in a big, useful, powerful way), you’ll also benefit from a massive amount of traditional consumer and trade media coverage; social media and word-of-mouth buzz.

Interactive Television – imagine the TV show story line incorporates scan codes that reveal additional information for the character or viewer.  (For the viewer the scan code might include the backstory on how this stunt was done. Think mash-up of movie DVD bonus content meets TV show. Viewers are engaged with the programming) ["EZcodes are a key ingredient in the new season of La Carte Aux Tresors (Treasure Hunt), a popular French prime-time TV show modeled on America's Amazing Race," according to the ScanLife.com website.
