I’ve seen these and they are so novel! The problem is they don’t look like QR codes. A regular QR code, regardless of the fact they are an eyesore, people know what to do when they see one on a menu. Artistic ones don’t really look like QR. Def don’t want to have to add an arrow and “scan this!” I suspect this will come on more handy incorporating QR into larger murals that people might photograph anyway. iOS camera…

Maybe it's because I've read a bit about how they work and in general have seen a lot of them, but I can recognize these are QR codes even if they weren't labeled as such

As an engineer, the lack of consideration for the matter of how much one should corrupt a signal (which might be scanned under different conditions, such as different light levels and resolutions) is grating to me. It’s like scratching a design onto the bottom of an audio CD, playing it, and if it works on your CD player, shipping it. “Works for me”

As a crafter and tinkerer, I love to test how far I can scratch that CD.

It would be a cool idea for leaving easter eggs embedded in designs though

This makes me think of your stereotypical pirate map to buried treasure

I feel like you need both people. The people who scratch a unique song onto a CD that only plays on one random CD player 2% of the time, and then the people who optimize that one song to play on 100% of devices while your upside down and underwater.

Make the cool QR code first, then get it to work everywhere when you actually made something cool.

The funny thing is that no-one AFAICT has realized that the same content can be encoded in different-looking QR codes. Beside the obvious (different error-correction levels), the content itself can be changed while maintaining its semantic meaning (e.g. " https://example.com/foo ", "HTTPS://EXAMPLE.COM/foo", or "HtTpS://eXaMpLe.CoM/foo" are all semantically identical) and even the QR encoding itself can be tweaked (e…

There is a CRC so it's not as easy at it sounds.
