Apple has something like this for their new iOS device setup. I don’t think it’s to encode larger amounts of data, but for security they have this circle that constantly changes shape (see around 0:50 in this video for a demo: https://youtu.be/iE03ypWD5xs https://youtu.be/iE03ypWD5xs). I don’t know for sure how it works, but my first thought was a constantly changing QR-like code.
