Let your customers check authenticity.
Finally — a way to help spot a fake QR Code.
A copied QR Code can still point to the genuine website. QR2HD goes further by adding proprietary data and a physical authentication layer to the same compact printed symbol.
This is much more than
a logo pasted on a QR Code.
The QR Code itself is engineered to form the recognizable QR2HD design.
A QR Code can verify where the link goes. QR2HD can also help verify the printed authentication mark.
Counterfeiters can copy an ordinary QR Code and still send buyers to the real website. QR2HD adds another layer — one designed to help determine whether the printed mark itself is consistent with an original rather than a reproduction.
Ordinary QR Code
Readable by a phone and useful for links or data — but a copied image is still a readable QR Code.
QR2HD
Keeps the familiar QR Code experience while adding proprietary HD Barcode data and physical authentication characteristics in the same printed area.
Same QR Code.
Different product data.
Every product can use the same recognizable underlying QR Code. Product-specific information is carried by the HD Barcode dots — not by changing the QR Code design. The result is a mark customers can learn to recognize while each product can still carry different data.
Recognize it. Scan it. Verify it.
No store employee, special consumer app, dedicated scanner, or other consumer equipment is required.
Recognize
Look for the fixed QR2HD design, including the clear space at both ends of QR2HD and the distinctive T in the bottom-right corner.
Connect
Scan with a normal smartphone camera and confirm that the browser destination is QR2HD.com.
Verify
The HD layer can read additional data and evaluate proprietary characteristics of the printed mark to support an authenticity check.
One small mark. Several jobs.
Customer self-check
Give buyers a direct way to check authenticity using the phone already in hand.
Two separate messages
The HD Barcode dots can carry two independent messages in addition to the QR Code payload.
Public or private
Public messages can be read by anyone. Private messages are encrypted and can be read only after an authorization symbol containing the pass phrase is scanned first.
No extra label space
QR Code, additional data, and physical authentication features share the same compact 0.6" printed symbol.
TRY IT.
It just works.
The easiest way to experience QR2HD is to display this page on a PC or tablet, then use a cell phone as the reader.
First scan the QR Code normally. After the QR2HD reader opens, point the phone back at the symbol on the monitor to read the HD Barcode data.
This public demo demonstrates the QR2HD reading experience. Production authentication marks can include additional proprietary physical features not shown in an on-screen demonstration.
Looks familiar. Does more.
QR2HD combines a familiar smartphone QR Code experience with proprietary HD MultiCode data and a physical authentication layer — giving manufacturers another way to help customers evaluate whether a product is likely genuine.
