Imagine a world where QR codes hold more information than simple URLs. Imagine they contained complex security codes and data that could be processed in the moment, without an internet connection. Imagine they could be embedded into art and design, an integral part of the world around us, with a story hidden inside.
That world is here.
The Card Reader is Yoton Yo Studio’s next-generation scanning technology. It embeds QR code data into high-frequency components that are less perceptible to the human eye. This process is trained and optimized by a neural network, overseeing each bit of the QR code and adapting it to the unique characteristics of its cover image.
This AI-driven approach allows for higher embedding capacity while maintaining stunning image quality. Our advanced error correction techniques allow the code to operate even with moderate alterations, like scrapes and stains, so codes stand up to the wear-and-tear of every day life.
What does this mean?
It means that complex data can live discretely inside art, or it can be built into the design of things all around us.
Say goodbye to clunky QR codes that require an internet connection to function. Say hello to a world where data is accessible, to everyone, right now.
