Singapore: QR Codes
June 30, 2012Posted by Kanga.
One thing that has been noticeable all around Singapore is QR codes. (For those who don’t know, QR codes are square matrix barcodes that can communicate more information than a standard barcode. More explanation – click here.) They were invented almost 20 years ago, but are only now coming into the public sphere because smart phones can scan them (with the right app).
Real Estate Ad
Singapore Flyer
Computer Ad
Cold medicine Ad
Job Ads Website
Pepsi
Just about every advertisement in the metro stations
Restaurant Menu (sorry it’s blurry)
College advertisement (in the metro train car)
We have not, however, seen anyone stopping to scan these codes with their smart phone. Just me stopping to photograph them for this blog post. This may be the wave of the future, though.
