Designed to be read by low-cost CMOS or CCD cameras common in mobile devices, it can also be used to determine the 3D position of the tagged object as well as its ID number.
Visual fiduciary markers surrounding the barcode allow the computer to quickly locate the tag within the field of view of the camera.
Additionally, the design of the CyberCode tag allows the computer to track position and orientation in three dimensions.
CyberCode tags affixed to real-world objects would allow the user to view the world through the camera and have the computer overlay additional information over the display.
In the video game "Eye of Judgment", CyberCode tags are printed on collectible cards.
