12 years ago, I worked on this prototype - https://github.com/tanepiper/adOn-soundlib https://github.com/tanepiper/adOn-soundlib
The original plan was to develop essential "audio QR codes" that would allow short codes to be transmitted that could be parsed by certain apps and used to drive different interactions.
- jagged-chisel 2y agoWhat was the UX like? QR is entirely passive and requires no batteries nor logic and it continues to exist on paper. Does some device listen for apps nearby? Do I need to walk up and press a button?
- tanepiper 2y agoThe core idea was to work with a commercial TV broadcaster in to embed the codes in certain ads, or have it as part of a TV show - so the "listener" would need an active app to handle it. If it had all gone off well, the eventual plan was to have it be used on a live show where users could also interact. We had some prototypes ready with a native app - but then the Brexit referendum happened - and our company had a couple of clients pull out of upcoming projects - and the company got shuttered.
