QR Code in subway stations or as a tattoo…

Awesome use of QR Code and the “unused” space and time in subway stations… I love it, it’s fun, useful, immersive and innovative…

Another usage of QR Code, that I love as well but will never try:

Despite the comments on the video that criticized the "animated" part in the tattoo, I very much like the idea but I would challenge one thing: the choice of a proprietary format which in any use case can be blamed but even more in the case of a non-erasable, non-modifiable tattoo. What if the company running the code is out-of-business, or if they decide to charge for every scan/use of the code? what about all the people that could potentially try this tattoo but can not because their mobile phone is not loaded with the appropriate reader? I understand the size of the tattoo is a constraint but there might be other solution. Personally I would use an URL that I own (and not one of this URL shortener) and would implement it in a way that I can dynamically change the landing page/video. Why not adapting the video to my mood! (Via 2d-code)

Generally speaking I found QR Code (or barcode in general but hopefully mainly QR Codes) to become much more ubiquitous… spotted a few of them on ads (or on TV) lately…
