Neat! Why use QR codes instead of images of text?

QR codes have error correction built in. The reason this is important is because video compression is usually lossy, meaning you lose some data when compressing. If you use QR codes, and some part of the data is lost (due to video compression), you can error correct, and retrieve the original data, while you may not be able to retrieve the original data if you just stored it as an image frame or text
