The CueCat was named CUE [1] for the unique bar code which the device scanned and CAT [2] as a wordplay on "Keystroke Automation Technology". [3] It enabled a user to open a link to an Internet URL by scanning a barcode — called a "cue" by Digital Convergence — appearing in an article or catalog or on some other printed matter.
