QR code and laminating fun

"QR codes are a new discovery for me and I have created one that points people to this blog. I experimented with colouring it and found that my mobile could still read it as long as the contrast remained good. Hopefully people will walk past Tharpa Ling with their smart phones and pick up the link."

30 Creative QR code business cards

"A quick response (QR) code is a two dimensional code that can be scanned and read by smartphone cameras to transfer information. The information can then be encoded to text, add a vCard contact, open a URL or much more.

So, by placing them on a business card, you can digitally pass on your contact details, direct people to a website, send them to a Flickr photo set or Facebook fan page or offer a special discount etc.

Hopefully the examples below will help to inspire you on how QR codes can be incorporated creatively in your designs. Or at least, provided a few interesting ways that they can be used to connect offline and online media."

Why QR Codes Will Go Mainstream

"We no longer need to be tethered to a desktop computer in order to use the internet to interact with the world around us. When you see something that you want information about, you no longer have to make a mental note to look it up later on Google. You can simply point your smartphone at the object and obtain the desired information without typing or speaking. In essence, the QR code has become the shortest distance between curiosity and information retrieval.

The beauty of QR codes is that they are an open-source and freely licensed standard. They cost nothing additional to add to printed materials and can be scanned by free readers on all smartphones and even some feature phones."

BBC Logo in QR Code

"Duncan Robertson is the software engineer that worked on the QR codes for BBC Programmes Beta. He now reports on work in progress on incorporating the BBC logo into QR codes. This is made possible due to error correction code written into the QR Code encoder that allows up to 30% deterioration of a QR Code while remaining readable"
