How a Stamp can record
video and display read this ……..
Australia Post has introduced a "video
stamp" which when used with a mobile application lets senders record a
15-second video for a recipient. The
postal service has printed more than 3 million of the stamps for the holiday
season, which can be affixed to domestic Express Post or Express Courier
International packages.
The QR code stamps cost
no more than regular ones but could eventually turn into a revenue source. "We
will wait and see how this trial period goes," a spokeswoman for Australia
Post said. Senders scan the QR code
with the "Video Stamp" application for
Apple or Android devices and
record a video. The recipient can either play it back through Video Stamp or
enter an eight-digit code assigned to the QR code to play it on Australia
Post's website. The video stamp is the
electronic equivalent of a post card, however: users are advised that anyone
who has access to the QR Code can view the message, the spokeswoman said. Like many postal services around the world,
Australia Post has faced financial challenges with falling letter volumes and
increased competition from courier services but has looked to reinvent itself
in the internet age. Last year, it
launched the Digital Mailbox, a Web-based application for receiving and paying
bills and a storage "vault" for important items such as tax documents
and passport copies
