30: Roger Fischer about QR-Codes
Thank you Mario. I hope you enjoyed your stay in Zurich.
In the interview I explain my view of the 2d barcode space. Readers of this blog probably already know my spiel, but here it is again:
To make the 2d barcode space interesting for everyone, we need open ISO-standards like Datamatrix and QR Code. These two have been adopted either by industry heavyweights like Nokia (worldwide) and Motorola (in Taiwan) or by the leading mobile internet telcos like NTTDoCoMo, KDDI, Softbank and subsequently by all japanese handset manufacturers (Sharp, Panasonic...).
So if you have developed your own 2d barcode, that's fine and cool - there are really good ones out there -, but support at least one of the two open standards with the full URL possibility. It's a matter of time (till all camera's are as good as the ones they use in Japan) and common sense (it's simple and everybody understands it right away) till we all will converge to use the full URL to access common mobile sites.
