If you’re reading TechCrunch, you’re probably already seeing the implications of banning URLs but allowing a full-on configurable QR code on screen are.
“They ban web addresses from all of the materials,” Gee told me, “Yet they were totally cool with me having a QR code, a forever update-able URL.”
When Scan created the QR code for use on the show, it originally pointed to a dummy URL that went nowhere, and monitored it on their dashboard just to make sure the demos would work. In fact, all of Gee’s devices were in airplane mode during the filming, so they wouldn’t have gone anywhere in the first place.
