Eggs - 04-07-2009, 08:52 AM

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I edit an online magazine on 2d Codes and QR Codes QR Code and Two dimensional Bar Code News

Although QR Codes have existed in Japan for a long time it is only now that their potential is beginning to be realized in the West and I am hoping to learn more about specific uses of these codes from knowledgeable forum users.

I have read (via Google translate) an article on some egg boxes that are stamped with a QR Code which takes you to a webcam of the chickens! ふくしま人模様:平飼いの卵を商品化した「あぶくま鶏 卵」社長・神田英保さん /福島 - 毎日jp(毎日新聞)

I would like to know more about this and of course view the webcam so that I can pass on the news of this clever use of QR Codes to the readers of my magazine.

Is anyone willing and able to help?

Thank you.

What is your point? QR code itself? The Fukushima Case? Application for Egg? or other case will do?

As you seem to read Japanese, I recommendo you to check google with "卵 QRコード".

As I said - I would like to know more about the QR code on the egg box and view the webcam if the url can be found.

Unfortunately I do not read Japanese, I use Google translate. Yes I search for QRコード in Google news already, that is how I found this press release!

Thank you.

Click on the icon shown below.



at http://www.abukuma-keiran.co.jp/farm.htm

the webcam is available only 9:00 to 17:00 JST.

I' not sure what is encoded in the QR code and how it lead to this site.

Here is a sample of QR code on another producer's the egg box.
