Now...  I could imagine a use for this tech for auth.  With a mobile device, 
you could create a soft token - where the qr code changes frequently - like 
with a securid. Maybe even as part of a challenge response scheme - where the 
challenge is displayed to the mobile device as a qr code and the device 
displays the response as a qr code. I am unaware of anything existing that does 
this. But I certainly wouldn't see a static printed qr code as useful for AuthN 
in just about any scenario.
