[Thali-talk] QR codes

[Yaron Goland]

This is what Michael was saying he is going to try. I explained in my response why I was dubious but this is one of those things that a quick demo can settle. If you can get a super great reader that 'just works' then maybe it would work? We didn't find such a reader but that doesn't argue that it couldn't exist. If it does then we'll happily use it too! :)

(Hi everyone!)

I have been thinking along these same lines... having a built-in customized viewer and display mechanism to make it more streamlined.
Also, what about using front-facing cameras for this process, just to see if you could magically place two phones opposite side up from each-other and have it happen in one step?
