Scanner update! (beta)

Changelog: Scanner now scans at 175° angle!

  • Scanner allows scanning QR codes at near impossible angles
    (we tested it, but it is still in beta)

  • Known bug: If under uneven lighting you may have troubles scanning QR code

  • Added deadzone for qr codes (‘cause projectors love to be tilted)
  • Made “change camera” button visible immediately (it sometimes hid behind address bar)
  • Changed camera selection algorithm so that it would be compatible with browsers’ privacy “features”
  • Fixed handful of small bugs for some people

QR Code scanner

This was (and still is) a major project which took 2-3 weeks of everyday work from our developer. We were rewriting a very cool lib boofcv to c++ (which is then compiled into webassembly). This allowed us to have better scanning angles and hopefully better work with lighting. Performance stayed the same if not became better. Zxing is no more!
