Dual-Link QR Code Generator Project Description

What is the project about?

The project is a React application that generates a single QR code embedding two different URLs. The QR code reveals different URLs when scanned from different angles.

What problem does it solve?

It provides a proof-of-concept for encoding two URLs within a single QR code, although it breaks the QR code standard. It's an experimental way to create a dual-purpose QR code.

What are the features of the project?

  • Generates QR codes containing two different URLs.
  • Utilizes high error correction (level 'H') to enable readability despite breaking the standard.
  • Offers multiple pixel splicing patterns: vertical, horizontal, and diagonal.
  • Provides customizable QR code options for better compatibility.
  • Includes URL inversion for alternative scanning results.
  • Optimizes cell size and margins for high-quality QR code images.

What are the technologies used in the project?

  • React + Vite
  • qrcode npm package
  • HTML Canvas

What are the benefits of the project?

  • Demonstrates a novel (though non-standard) approach to encoding multiple URLs in one QR code.
  • Offers a customizable and interactive way to generate these dual-link QR codes.
  • Provides a proof of concept.

What are the use cases of the project?

  • Primarily a proof-of-concept and experimental project.
  • Not suitable for real-world applications due to breaking the QR code standard.
