JumpScan

edit

JumpScan utilizes QR codes to create a “hardlink” from the physical world to the virtual world – displaying a user’s social media feeds and contact information. All that is required is a smart phone, and readily available QR code reader software.

Once a user signs up, and obtains his or her JumpScan QR code, they simply display it, and anyone with a smart phone can snap a photo of the image. The image links directly to a customized page on JumpScan.com, which displays the user’s most recent feeds from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.

Think of JumpScan.com as a bar code to your personal or business life.

Instead of obtaining a business card, or typing a phone number into a cell phone, a user can just take a snapshot of a JumpScan QR code and get the desired contact information with the click of a button.

Businesses can also use JumpScan by signing up and using their JumpScan QR code as the one image for all their consolidated social media feeds (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) If a business is closed, a potential customer can just click the JumpScan image on the door and have access to the latest information, phone number, store hours, etc.
