The real thing will be image scanning and nothing else. I'll post a video soon here on HN to prove that images are way better "barcodes" than both 1D and 2D/QR barcodes.

What I can say now is: 1. QR codes don't work on distances - state of the art image algoritms do. 2. QR codes mess with the brand appearance - basically H&M don't want a QR code all over an ad. 3. QR codes fail when there's reflection, dark dirt, and very skewed camera - state of the art image algoritms don't. ...

I wish I could post our video today to prove how much more convenient image scanning is - and what we use it for - for non-believers, but I have to wait a few weeks. Until then check YouTube.
