QR code’s the Japanese invention that is changing our world

Drone shows are becoming more and more common, and it seems that Shanghai is becoming the preferred place to do them. Recently the Genesis car brand broke the record for the most drones actually used. Now a video game developer is the architect of the last show, and for this she has done something innovative: use a QR code made up of drones. When finished, the drones formed a gigantic QR code in the sky of Shanghai so that viewers could capture it with their mobile cameras. By doing so, a personalized link to the video game was opened so that viewers had more information and could download the video game on their mobile phones.

Another gigantic invention from Japan to the world, we use QR in japan for almost everything:

The history behind QR Code

QArt Deco is a trending now, I found this one inside Kyushu train line

In 1994, DENSO WAVE (then a division of DENSO CORPORATION) announced the release of its QR Code. The QR in the name stands for quick response, expressing the development concept for the code, whose focus was placed on high-speed and reading. When it was announced, however, even. Hara, one of the original developers of the code, could not be sure whether it would actually be accepted as a two-dimensional code to replace barcodes. He had confidence in the performance of the code, however, and was eager to make the rounds of companies and industry organizations concerned to introduce it in the hope that it would become known and used by as many people as possible. In 2012, the QR Code won a Prize in the Media for Industry category of the Good. Design Award established in Japan to comprehensively promote industrial design.

In reply to a question asking him what kind of people he hopes will use the QR Code, he says:

“I don’t dare specify what kind of people will use it. I just want to let a lot of people use the code, come up with new ways of using it with them, and put these ideas into practice. This is the way, I’d like to think, that evolutionary improvements have been made to the QR Code.”

Another incredible use of QR code’s to provide a more equal education in developing countries

Matsuoka Shuji developed original materials so children in rural Cambodia can learn by playing board games. As some struggle with literacy, he used QR codes and images, as well as a game for teaching Khmer. Cambodia’s schools closed in 2021, switching to online classes due to the pandemic. But poor internet access means many remain excluded. Matsuoka’s new materials could help them learn at home. Meet Matsuoka and the Cambodian teachers ensuring the next generation have the opportunity to learn.

I’m deeply grateful for the documentary coverage of our new challenge that we have been working at PUC-BB and PSIS-BB since last year. I really hope that a lot of people who believe the possibility of education will recognize our challenge and have empathy, especially teachers, parents and. Ministry of Education in Cambodia.
