Cool new thing... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Sabretooth · 03-02-2009, 03:05 PM

This my friends is a QR code, used widely in japan, so its jdm...lol. but they are used to hold information like contact numbers, web addresses, and more. After looking it up, I am having one like this made for my car, it contains a bookmark for Yarisworld.com/forums.

Hope to get asked about it a lot.
Any questions, just look up QR codes online, and if you have the proper application or pbone, you too can scan this and play along with the fun.

2-D graphical barcodes have been around for a long time. One of the reasons that these are cool though is that they can be scanned and read by a camera, like the one in your cell phone... so like real-world hyperlinks. Sugoi!!

well the one at the start of the thread is for yarisworld.
i made it, then checked it with my phone.
i also thought it would be cool to include a message with all your mods on it, just cool to tell someone to scan that to see whats all on the car.

I thought UPS uses stuff like this already.

Sabretooth · 03-02-2009, 06:40 PM

well from what i can read, its been around for a while, but only recently has the decoding of these been available to the public in mass form for a short time. its a unique and interesting form of holding information. and it has multiple uses across many spectrums, i just thought it would be a unique and cool way to display information that only a couple people would know what to do with it, and using it to display our forum.

Does it actually scan to anything? I'd want one that simply says "1337"

<nerd speak>

Ok, it actually says my name 3 different ways:

1) Some of the bars are modified (with cross-pieces) to spell 'aaron'
2) The numbers underneath the bars -- 017586501614 -- if converted into binary yield a 35 digit number. Break that number up into five 7-bit chunks and look at the ASCII representation for each, it spells 'aaron' too.
3) And yes, if you had a scanner that could do a format called EAN-128 (I think), it would scan 'aa'.

Ha!
