While I've seen these before, I find this hard to believe this isn't a screenshot from The Witness (2016).

I just came here to say this too! After playing that game I started seeing those Witness style paths everywhere in real life, can't wait for that feeling again with this AI generated stuff
I'm torn. The images look cool and it's amazing they can do that, but I sure hope it didn't become trendy to make QR codes that are hard to recognize and can only be read in ideal conditions.
I have a QR code framed and hanging on the wall in my foyer for guest wifi access. I am definitely going to artsy it up like this so it looks nicer on my wall. People who want wifi will ask and I'll just tell them to scan that picture. They're usually impressed by that now; I'm excited to see how they react when they don't even recognize that it's a QR code.
Now I have to do this as well 😂 what a great idea
Probably not, as the person who wants them to be scanned probably wants them to be easy to be recognized so it gets scanned. The incentive is still to make it clearly recognizable.
it can be recognizable as a qr code, but still fail to scan for an app. Moreover, because you are using much of the redundancy of the qr code, you have to limit the amount of information in it. That's why the working ones that you find on the internet only have shortened URLs they point to. It doesn't work for more complicated information.

Next we make this landscape in the world so people can scan it if they are at the exact right angle. Then 100's of years later some Indiana Jones type will use it to open a door to the holy grail.
Wait, hold on, has anyone thought to scan the nazca lines
Didnt think it would scan. I am seriously impressed.
Only the first of the three scanned for me
I've messed around with this for a while one day, and the hit rate is seriously low. Even with high parity QR codes and even when you sometimes get it to scan. So you end up sometimes being like "good enough because I've been at this for 15 minutes." My phone started overheating and turning the camera off from how frequently I was testing QR codes and regenerating. This controlnet looks better than the model I used though (older tutorial) so I'm definitely tempted to give this one the old college try.
portal to isekai, accessible only by qrcode reader
I like the use of the Anakin/Padme meme.
I tried three different qr code scanning apps and couldn't scan any of those codes :(
Best not to scan random QR codes, in general.
You can scan its content without getting thrown into trouble, I use an app like SecScanQR which returns the raw content of the QR code, that helps to assess if you're getting into fishy stuff.
If your app automatically opens the link, yes.
Not all do that though.
You shouldn't open the URL, but you can scan it to see if a url is recognized
I got it to scan using another phone. Local apps couldn't scan it
I tried this and it worked
Which app did you use? I cannot scan it.
Standard camera app from GrapheneOS
Scans fine on my pixel 6 pro running stock android
All I see is Rob Gonsalves, his artstyle looks very similar.
While this looks cool, my phone can't actually scan any of these. Anybody else have any luck?
yes, it goes to reticulated.net
Couldn't get it to work on 2 phones
Did you try shrinking the photos a bit? I narrowed the browser to shrink them and my phone camera picked up 11 of 12 of the ones in a grid.
