There's a use-case for QR triggered augmented reality overlay. Scan the code, insert your original video back into the printed document.
Practical? Maybe not without a HoloLens or Apples upcoming device.
- duskwuff 5y agoI'm pretty sure that's doable with current technology. Detecting a QR code and a larger rectangle surrounding it is easy; overlaying a video over that rectangle is only slightly harder. What I'm not so sure of is the utility. Users would probably rather watch a video on their phone screen than watching a video pretending to be on a piece of paper through their phone screen.

- afavour 5y agoWhat's the actual utility there, though? It makes the video less portable than if you were just watching in your phone. And the position on the page isn't exactly important.
