As with all hacks, the risk of breaking other features, especially accessibility, increases.
I’ve noticed that you cannot long press the brighter code to read it.
This works on the regular code next to it (tested in safari mobile).
- lucideer 3y agoThey've made the odd choice of placing the QR code as a mask on the video via CSS, rather than positioning a black & transparent image over the video (which would allow long press). Not sure why they've done this, perhaps something about the HDR approach requires both the black and white to be a part of the same video render. Also - I'm not sure if it's a browser default or some other website CSS but imo there's no real reason long press shouldn't work on a video anyway... videos need accessibility too.
- dtinth 3y agoarticle author here. odd choice indeed, I wasn’t thinking clearly when I experimented and wrote the article. putting a black and transparent image atop the video sounds like a much better idea — i will try it and see if it works. thanks for the suggestion!
- lucideer 3y ago> I wasn’t thinking clearly when I experimented and wrote the article Not thinking clearly! I can barely write anything when I am thinking clearly. Great work on the technique, it's ingenious.
