New technology integrates QR codes in the future
QR Code has surpassed the link scanning function, becoming a powerful connection tool with new technologies such as Blockchain, AI and AR. From quick payment capabilities to security and smart interaction, this iCheckQR article will help you better understand the development and application potential of QR codes in the near future.
1. Why are QR codes becoming central to new technology integration?
Easy to scan, no complex equipment required: Just with a smartphone with basic features, internet connection - turn on the phone camera - scan the QR code to receive information within 1 second
Flexible multi-data: Data formats from text, links, policy information, NFTs to event tickets can all be converted into QR codes easily.
Perfect combination of IoT, AR, AI: Fast data transmission capability, with security when integrating Blockchain
2. Top 7 new technologies that are integrating with QR codes
2.1. Blockchain + QR Code
Content: Blockchain records transparent data and ensure that the data after scanning is real, cannot be changed after generating the code, anti-counterfeiting. QR leads to Blockchain Explorer allowing to check the origin of the product.
Application: Traceability of clean food, vegetables, fruits, pharmaceutical products, high-end fashion
Benefit : Increase user confidence in the brand, reduce the situation of counterfeit branded products on the market, verifying product origin
Content : AI reads data from users,behavioral analysisInternet users and QR code scanning behavior optimize marketing. AI optimizes QR code content based on data information, analyzes online usage behavior Increase the rate of targeted advertising
Application: Interactive Chatbot, QR Code in advertising banner changes automatically
Benefit : Increase good shopping experience, support shortening the shopping journey to help increase higher conversion rates
2.3. Augmented Reality (AR) + QR Code
Content: Code QR scanning opens an augmented reality (AR) experience. QR activates AR Portal, virtual space exhibitionor try on virtual items in store
Application: Real estate, events, e-commerce, online fashion
Benefit : Create a unique shopping experience, speed up the shopping journey, and drive purchasing behavior.
Content: QR code on equipment, industrial QR attachments for maintenance, product manuals, firmware updates. QR contains the device dashboard URL, or user manual
Application: Smarthome management, remote industrial factory control 4.
Benefit : Easy to manage equipment, improve operational efficiency and automate the process
2.5. 5G + QR Code
Content: 5G mobile network high speed, low latency Ability to connect large number of devices with QR code information storage web links, payment data, product information. 5G enables QR scanning super fast speed, support more complex VR/AR applications. Create QR codes containing URLs, product IDs, payment information - Place QR codes on products, posters... - Scan codes with 5G-connected devices
Application: Sports events, concerts AR
Benefit: Super fast data access, support for experiences like AR, HD video, smooth interface enhances user experience
Content:It is a combination of QR codes and smart contracts to create an identification system –activate – verify – transact – store – retrieve data via blockchain, just scan the QR code.
How to integrate:
Create smart contract on blockchain platform
Generate a QR code containing information linking to the contract such as: Contract address, transaction ID, encrypted product information
E-wallet API integration(Metamask, Trust Wallet,...) for users to interact with smart contracts after scanning the code.
Application: Decentralized Finance (DeFi), digital insurance.
Benefit: Increased transparency, process automation, high security

2.7. Voice-Activated QR
Content :Combine Voice Recognition + QR Code. Activate or display QR code via voice, or use voice to control actions after scanning QR code
There are 2 common forms:
Voice to create or display QR code (eg: say “show Wifi code” => QR appears on screen).
Voice control action after scanning QR code(e.g. after scanning a product QR code, the user says “add to cart”).
How to integrate:
Set up software or integrated devices microphone + AI voice recognition (Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, hoặc module Speech-to-Text).
=> When received correctly activation command, the device will display a QR code associated with the specific content.
Application: Hospital, smart home, car.
Benefit: Increase interactivity, flexible application, support for people with disabilities
It is predicted that the future development trend of QR Code will continue with new forms such as:
QR 3D embedded in object: Laser engraving on products
Dynamic QR: Real-time content changes with AI
Bio QR:Printed on fabric, leather, trees - suitable for sustainable development trends
