Microsoft Tag

Microsoft Tag was a type of barcode technology that allowed users to quickly access digital content by scanning it with a smartphone camera. These tags looked like colorful, complex patterns and could store information such as website links, contact details, or multimedia content. When scanned with a compatible app, they instantly directed users to the intended digital resource, making information sharing more interactive and efficient. Microsoft Tag was useful for marketing, product packaging, and printed materials, bridging the physical and digital worlds. However, Microsoft discontinued the service in 2015, shifting focus to other mobile QR code solutions.
