In, A Spinner’s Journey in Inkle Bands, author Jeannine Glaves descibes how she wove regular square QR codes and then went on to embed text into bands she wove.
Note she uses the term “letter pick-up” so perhaps this Padonma project is trying to work out “QR code band pick-up” or just “QR pick-up.” It would seem that her work could be extended to weave rMQR codes into bands, which could then be sewn into garments.
Note also that is sounds like she was able to get a QR reader to work using only a single stitch per QR module. Perhaps a rMQR reader will be able to work with that resolution.
While homebound during COVID-19, I looked for something new to try with the bands. I thought it would be fun to weave my vaccination QR code. The code pattern needed 29 pairs of warp threads. A pattern pair consists of a light background and a dark, heavier pattern thread. Since the QR code would be square, it would take only 29 pattern wefts to weave the code
In Why, yes… yes I did! Weaving QR code, we see an example of 3 warps per QR data module:
- Examples of handicrafted QRs
- On Etsy, one stitched QR patch The Original Never Gonna Give You Up QR Code Patch
- A gallery of QRs all handmade: woven, knitted, croceted | QR-3D
- A gallery of “woven” QR codes on various objects large and small
