UK finally gets a taste of AR

When the hell did AR markers become QR codes?

software and, I guess, the right software. Ugh. Why don't operating
system manufacturers think Articulated Naturality when it comes to
designing these applications? It's a frustration for everyone who wants
to use a QR code.
