Pretty much everyone has a smart phone with a camera now, and QR codes seem to be here to stay, but there is a problem with human facing use in my opinion.
The problem I am talking about isn’t malicious use. The problem I am talking about is that barcodes are designed for computers, but today they are incorporated into use for humans.
That is a bit poorly worded, so let me give you an example instead.
While this may “work,” it is pretty clunky. Putting logos in the middle of the code and relying on error correction really grinds my gears too.
Let me restate the problem then, the problem is that people see the QR code, and it is a lot of distraction noise to them. So I propose that we hide the QR code from humans.
