Ugliness aside (which I agree), the thing I don't like about QR codes is that they generally *create* more work for people than they replace.
The most useful QR codes I've seen used are in reverse from how everyone usually describes them: when the person/customer/etc has a personal QR code on a tag/sticker/badge/etc, and the business/operator has the reader set up. Example: digital check-in, scanning loyalty cards, etc. You could have QR codes on name badges, for instance, and put out iPads or laptops with cameras that do something automatically when a code is scanned. This takes away a lot of the questions "what is this thing, what do I do with it" as well as the need to download an app or ask the user to do extra work for you. -- /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Chad Ballantyne <c...@thecreativespace.ca> wrote: > Agreed.
