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.
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.
