Hi-Tech Tombstones Interact With Cell Phones and PCs of Mourners

Ishinokoe, a Japanese headstone manufacturing company, has figured out a way to make one's gravesite visit a bit more interactive. Its new tombstones, which resemble a large stone urn, are marked by two out-swinging, lockable doors. Inside the doors is a Q3 code (two-dimensional, super fast barcode) that allows family members and friends to use their cell phones to access a Web site showing movie clips and photos of the deceased. The mourners are able to access the Web site via cell-phone-accessible hyperlinks.
Technology can help and it can hurt. In this instance, it may just help ease the pain. [Source: DVICE]
