After the application loads, you’re presented with some icons and a red square overlaid on the image coming from your camera. What you see below is an image of the application when my phone’s camera is pointed at the Microsoft Tag website on my computer monitor.

As I center the red box over the picture of a device with a tag in the lower left hand corner of the website, the tag is automatically read and performs an action.

Microsoft Tag in Action:

Consider that you are standing in a bus stop. There is a “unique tag” associated with the board placed in the bus stop. You can simply take a snap of the “tag” present in the board. Microsoft Tag automatically analyzes your code and fetches the relevant information about the bus timings.

Thus Microsoft Tag makes life easier and simpler by completely eliminating the need for search, offering “Instant information and entertainment”.Microsoft Tag is all said to form the next generation services for Mobile platform.
