Posted on July 17, 2010 by max

One day, our world will be filled with QR code advertisements and billboards everywhere and we won’t even need to carry our smartphones to decipher them, perhaps they will have wearable contacts that have smartphones embedded in them.

Until that day comes (probably after your life), we can still enjoy the joys of deciphering QR code billboards such as this one featured by Calvin Klein.

I hear Japan is already full of these, I will be on the watch out for the very first QR code billboard here in San Francisco. In the meanwhile, please take a photo of your city&#
