hmmm, hmmm, well .. you actually can use QR codes from your laptop - and - any other browser (that supports flash, as the HTML5 webcam API is not yet ready) - i know this, as i created it myself - it's called http://miniqr.com/reader.php http://miniqr.com/reader.php (with some paid help from http://www.peterelst.com/ http://www.peterelst.com/)
does it make sense? well, that's another topic.
- goorpy 15y agoAm I missing something? I don't see how that helps a user to parse a QR they come across in meatspace. Say, on a movie poster or fast food cup. If I'm on a website with a QR code... should that publisher not just use a plain old URL?
- LeafStorm 15y agoOne useful way to use QR codes on Web sites is for downloading mobile apps. Instead of copying the URL to your device, or searching through the Market/App Store, you can just scan the QR code from off the screen, and you're right at the app you need to download.
- keeperofdakeys 15y agoI personally would find it much easier to type in a url on my laptop. Using a laptops camera for a QR code is very awkward, you have to orientate it correctly when you can't see the screen, possibly have to hit a key at the same time.
