Artcodes allow everyone to become a coder. By drawing visually beautiful images, you can link them to websites to showcase how interaction can become fun and beautiful. Design visually beautiful images and encode them, resulting in the same interactivity as that of the QR code but with a more visually engaging and playful experience. Images can be identical with unique codes or the opposite: visually unique with identical codes. This interplay offers a new opportunity for visual interaction within, product, packaging, service and interaction design.
