Edible QR codes

In fact, the technology used by these Osaka University researchers is quite simple. What they did was use a 3D food printer to print. Cookies with a QR code what you want to use. Then an extra layer of dough was added to the cookies and they were baked.

Externally, the cookie is identical to the others, but if we place it in front of a window or a light bulb, it will become transparent and allow us to see QR code. It remains only to focus it with a mobile camera in order to read the QR code containing the information.

As we can see, the system is simple, although it has some obvious limitations. To use food, you must use ingredients that can be printed with food printer. Mainly pasta, flour dough, etc.

In addition, this food should be translucent to light let him see edible qr code inside.

This is an interesting idea that could have both practical and marketing utility for very specific products.

Interior, edible QR codes, allow you to insert QR codes inside food items such as cookies, legs, cakes and more. new related products. Will we see them in supermarkets anytime soon?
