does anyone know what this is?

[Guest A/D]

First one to PM me and tell me you did it gets . .

 

a song by david koresh! or .. an obscure recording of a frog. Your choice.

 

I'm trying to settle a debate with a friend over the effectiveness of things like this, so please tell me if you don't have any idea what the fuck this is. Or if all of you do.

 

I love you

Isn't that the new type of tiny ID, that will replace the barcode in time?

it's a kind of barcode that is primarily used by mobile phones.

Used them in Korea.

[hexagon son]

we also use them in japan. if a company or w/e wants to link you direct to their website, you just take a snapshot of this. it saves you having to type the URL in on your keitai (sorry, cell/mobile). handy for things like e-coupons to use at mcdonalds etc...

[chenGOD]

yeah i think I first saw them in Japan, probably about 10 years ago.

That particular bar code (after some quick wikiing) is called a QR Code.

 

Where's my prize goddamit!

[chaosmachine]

it's a QR code that points to http://enjyn.com/ according to my phone.

or

?

[Guest A/D]

does anybody regularly follow QR codes though? did anybody look at this and go "Hey that's interesting, I want to find out what that is/see what it does"

[chenGOD]

I would if I had a phone that was capable of using them right now/with a data plan that's not outrageous.

Is it for augmented reality?
