I just printed a couple of QR codes and held them up in front of the EZ-B camera. One says hello and the other opens a web page this is very cool

QR Codes are great, I have them on my business cards so flash it to the camera on my phone and it'll dial my number, bring up a map, go to my website, email me... this opens up so many new great features.

Thanks everyone! Wait until you see tomorrow's update:) ... I've extended the QR Code functionality - including a few other goodies

The man that never sleeps ... mmmm ... who could I be talking about ...:)

I had been wondering about using hand sign language to communicate with a robot but QR codes are amazing. Now anyone can communicate to the robot. While VR is awesome it is quite limited to the environment and is not universal for all speakers. Fabulous DJ!:)

Damn it DJ. I just get rolling with what I can and might do with the robot and you go and add more cool stuff....

I just cant keep up...

Way to go bud, big thanks to all your hard work.

This is indeed a great new piece of functionality, but I think I have found a glitch eek - I have printed off a couple of different codes to test and I find that if I show a code it works perfectly the first time I present it, but if I then hide it and re-present the same code again the recognition works (I can see the phrase on-screen), but the associated command does not execute. If I show a different code instead it also works, then the first code can successfully be shown again - is anyone else seeing this please?
