This research examined three different methods by which mobile devices can link digital content to physical objects. These methods are Quick Response (QR) codes, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and augmented reality applications. A chart comparing the relative advantages and disadvantages of each method was created. This chart will serve as a guide for future developers to use to help determine the most appropriate ways to use these emerging technologies in their own work.
