Sponsor’s of the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics have imprinted a QR Code on their boat’s sails (image below). The world’s first QR Code on a sail was unveiled during training and competition at the second stop of the International Sailing Federation’s (ISAF) 2010-2011 Sailing World Cup in Miami. The QR Code resolves to US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics Facebook wall.

  2. I cant get it to work with anything ( inigma, optiscan, qrafter, neo ) but is SURE is beautiful. Im sure its just the anglet that the photo was taken at.

    I wonder if its the curvature distortion. Its a very interesting math problem.

  3. You found an image! I was looking for one myself yesterday, but couldn’t find one anywhere. It looks good.

    Patrick - it’s definitely the curvature in this image that’s stopping the scan.
