QR Buckle Advertises Your Web Site Above Your Crotch
Posted in: Apparel, europe, Fashion, Japan, marketing, Today's Chili
Remember QR codes? “Q what, you say?” You know, those blocky, two-dimensional “Quick Response” barcodes containing URLs, which direct your smartphone to said web site after you snap a photo of the code.
Oh, wait — QR codes aren’t very popular outside Japan, where most phones are shipped with QR-reading software — so you might not have heard of them. The technology isn’t very popular in Europe either, which is why an Austrian company called Fluid Forms is aiming to bring QR codes into the mainstream with custom laser-cut QR jewelry.
The company is starting with the QR Belt Buckle pictured above. That means you’ll be able to visit Fluid-Forms.com and enter a URL you’d like to advertise above your private parts. Then, the company will laser-cut your QR code into the buckle and ship it to you.
Nerdy and pretty cool. The belt buckle will be available May 27, followed by an entire line of QR jewelry including rings, brooches and cufflinks. No word on pricing yet, but the cheapest product on the site is 30 euros (about $40), so expect to pay at least that.
