Heidelberg Showcasing Visionary Print Applications in Its R&D Center

Placing a touch code card of this kind on an iPad opens an app or Web browser that offers access to specific content. The card, therefore, serves as a copy-protected license for electronic information in protected or closed applications, for example, thus building a bridge to mobile terminals.

Unlike conventional QR codes, there is no need to take a photo using a smartphone. The touch code acts as a paper key and is simply placed on the display. In cooperation with Chemnitz-based Printechnologics GmbH Heidelberg has developed touch code technology applications for particular market segments and shows, how these applications can be employed.
