The Aztec barcode is a two-dimensional matrix symbology, able to encode all of the ASCII character set, a two-dimensional imaging device such as a CCD camera is necessary to scan the barcode.
The symbol is made up of a square grid with a bulls-eye pattern located at its centre for easy location of the code. Data is then encoded around this bulls-eye pattern.
Aztec Code is robust and well suited for displays of mobile phones and other mobile devices.
