Subject: [blindza] Google goggles and QRCodes
A little while ago, I put together my own little windows app/software to
generate QRCodes, which are sort of barcodes, but with content embedded in
them, since there was meant to be a combination of pieces of software for
android phones at least to sort of let you scan these codes, and get
contents read to you, but, the use thereof was a little inconsistent,
depending on phone, lighting, etc. etc.
Either way, just now, tested/tried out using google goggles on this Huawei
unit, on a piece of paper that's been lying folded up in my one jacket
pocket for over 6 months now, and while I had multiple codes printed on one
piece of paper, which meant that I wasn't really sure was aiming
perfectly/right at the QRCode, it did actually seem to work pretty well, and
with roundabout second aiming attempt, google goggles did return the actual
contents of the QRCode I had generated myself back to me.
Now this just means that it might then, really, be worthwhile using my
little bit of QRCode generation software to generate QRCodes to label
products/items with forms of instruction, etc., but let's see - almost like
a form of self-labeling technology, but using combinations of other, normal
products - software on PC to generate pictures that you just get someone to
print out for you, and then cut out as sort of labels, and then use your
mainstream/normal phone to read the contents when you want to.
Anyway, will definitely need to test google goggles action/reaction a bit
more, but, might now actually be worth testing/trying this out a bit...LOL!
Stay well
