Mundane objects can have metadata embedded into them, or provide markers for augmented reality functionality, like tracking the object in 3D. How are the codes actually embedded?

Researchers have developed a way to include an unobtrusive edible tag embedded inside food—in their original experiments, cookies—that can be read without having to first destroy the food or impact ...

D printing is a simple way to create custom tools, replacement pieces and other helpful objects, but it is also being used to ...

Researchers have 3D-printed edible QR codes that may help the industry in creating non-toxic tags. Our lives were made considerably simpler by QR codes, which were developed in 1994 by the ...

Barcode stickers may provide valuable information on products, but they're rather unsightly, and they peel off over time. An experimental new alternative, however, is 3D-printed right into the ...

Would you like a QR code embedded in that cookie? Researchers from Osaka University develop 'interiqr', a novel three-dimensional (3D) printing method of embedding edible QR codes--a type of ...
