These days, tech companies are increasingly making use of artificial intelligence to create more efficient ways of doing everyday tasks. One area where this has been particularly useful is in the development of QR code readers for mobile phones. In the near future, it is likely that Android phones will be able to scan QR codes from across a room, without the need to stand near to the code.
QR codes are used increasingly to provide companies with an alternative to barcodes. They are used to quickly and conveniently store information, and are able to be scanned using a device with a camera. For many businesses, QR codes are an efficient tool to provide customers with quick access to buying information, store loyalty programs and even digital payments.
The development of technologies to recognize QR codes at a distance has opened up even faster, more convenient access to all kinds of information and services. This technology leverages existing camera capabilities to recognize QR codes from across the room. With this, users will be able to quickly find out the information stored in the code, such as product information, deals and more, as soon as it appears in their view.
Although this technology is already available for phones with iOS operating systems, Android phones are currently lagging behind. However, it is likely that this will be changing soon. Google has already announced that it is investing in ways that can make this technology available to its Android operating systems, which would be a major step forward in terms of convenience.
In addition, Google has revealed that its camera app for Android phones can already recognize QR codes from across the room. Currently it only works on select devices, but the possibility of offering this convenience to a wider range of Android phones is very real in the near future.
For consumers, this technology could open up more possibilities in terms of accessing useful information and even making digital payments from a distance. It could also reduce the amount of time required to set up services, as consumers will no longer need to stand near a code to access its information.
Ultimately, QR codes are becoming an increasingly popular way to quickly access useful information, and making them available for Android users from across the room could prove to make them even more useful. With Google’s current developments, this technology may soon be available to a much wider range of users in the near future.
