innovation, SET teamed up Takashi Murakami with Louis Vuitton to create a

distinctive code featuring one of the artist’s characters and the classic LV

pattern. The agency hopes this will add much needed style and character to the bland world of machine readable codes.

Intel have also released a designed QR, but it’s a zebra and its pretty basic.

(Video) CBS Outdoor Digital AR Changing Room:

Consider the ideas in Korea’s Home Plus Subway store, and then think about eCommerce

sites using ATL (Boohoo, eBay etc…)

Something like this was being done in either Marc Jacobs in

Selfridges or New Look.

But if you think in ‘self-service’ terms, retailers with online

presence could offer this as a solution to queue times.

Inspiration: Tesco Self Service

pringles?!
