Looking on Wikipedia I see that QR code was invented in 1994 by a Japanese automotive components manufacturer to label car parts. I wonder if QR code was invented today, could it be improved? Maybe for compactness? Ease of read?

There's nothing stopping a new sufficiently better design. Bar codes were already ubiquitous in 94 and they didn't prevent QR codes taking off. Maybe there's not that much left to improve. (unless changing the concept drastically, e.g. NFC)
