About XPAND Code
The XPAND code is a bar code for linking space and smartphone, featuring a horizontal slit shape.
The use is similar to qr code, and by reading xpand codes in space, such as signs and signs, on a smartphone, it is the starting point for displaying more detailed information about the space.
For example, you can read signs and display content in multiple languages, read bus stops to view bus activity, read stadium visions and display information such as matches and gourmets.
It is a feature that can be read from a long distance, and has a track record of successfully reading from more than 200m ahead.
Qr codes are square, so when used in space, the original display contents, such as signs, are sacrificed, and the noisy design causes landscape pollution.
It was developed with the aim of improving convenience while protecting the landscape by solving this problem and using “QR code for short distances and XPAND code for long distances”.
XPAND code is the starting point to guide to the smartphone, so you have only 12 digits. Display the information at the destination.
