This is a brilliant example of how versatile this medium is. The image above will take you back to this site. How is this capable? Well, from some incredibly awesome programming.

Dr. Manabu Hagiwara, a mathematician at the Japanese Research Center for Information Security (RCIS) has released a free downloadable QR Code generator called QR-JAM MAKER. It produces distinctive QR Codes with an image down a bar in the middle of the code.

My ability to read any level of Kanji is nil. I would love to find out more on Dr. Hagiwara’s research in to how he managed to create a ‘white space’ capable of carrying an image. Could you imagine Hello Kitty embedded QR Code everywhere?
