Japanese store offers camera phone method for viewing yourself in eyeglass frames

The Japan Times has published a brief item about a Japanese eyeglasses store, Megane Top (“Top Glasses”), that has created a “mobile fitting” service that uses camera phone photos to help you see how you look in different glasses frames (see below).

According to the article, you snap a camera phone photo of your face and then combine it with photos of frames you download from the store’s “alook mobile” Web site.

The article didn’t mention — perhaps because it’s common in Japan — that the Web page includes a QR code, as you can see at the bottom of that clipped image as a “mobile code.”

Unlike in the United States, QR codes (barcode-like images) are posted on Web pages, posters and the like for camera phone users to snap a photo to obtain a URL, information about a product or service, etc.
