Interesting read with a lot of links to explore. I have been digging down this rabbit hole quite a bit myself. For this I have used Binary Eye [1], an Android application that can read but also generate various barcodes (even some not listed in the article like PDF417 [2]).
Wikipedia lists a good number of the different barcode varieties for the curious, both linear and 2D: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode#Types_of_barcodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode#Types_of_barcodes
After having playing with that, I guess that my next step is to find a webcam and play with marker systems for AR. Does someone have a webcam recommendation (or another device?) to get started with AR/marker detection?

- rognjen 5y agoI definitely have to check out Binary eye. Have you tried scanning the marker from Egypt with it?
- deaddabe 5y agoUnfortunately it seems that BinaryEye is only able to reason about barcodes, not markers. None of the markers presented in the article were detected. Some special barcodes, like MaxiCode, were not detected either. Method: I started the app on my phone, pointed it to the laptop screen with the article displayed and scrolled though each example.
