Think of all the publicity they are getting from this.

  • can you imagine being someone from just 20 years ago seeing that
  • Yes it works. The article says they tried it from a helicopter!
  • Very clever. That's thinking outside of the box. I tried to scan the code from the image but could not due to the angle.
  • Tried scanning the picture on my screen: didn't work
    Printed it to scan it: didn't work
    Went to website to see if they linked to the website: failed again

    3 strikes and I am out.

    • I think in order to work from the image it would need to be a more vertical shot. As long as they were in the helicopter the should have taken a more vertical shot or at least take another one now from a plane. It would be more valuable to them if the code worked from the image.

  • Yeah I agree. Surprised they didn't hire out the copter and make the image themselves to be released in a press release. Would have helped get traffic.
  • Don't think that is the largest as I saw a billboard on an interstate with a LARGE QR code on it.

    • I think this is more than an acre big.

      Never seen any billboards that large

  • I want to see the world's biggest billboard which Manny is clearly talking about /sarcasm

  • I wonder do it work even we sit helicopter and try to scan it .
    I believe this is just part of marketing which they not really want people to scan it , but is just away to build their brand name to go viral while everyone like you sharing it while thinking its cool.

    • Yes I'm sure they didn't do it for the benefit of the few people who would fly over and want to take a photo of it. It's all about publicity. When corn mazes for came out they were so unique that they generated a lot of publicity and attention. Now there are common enough that you need to be more creative to get attention and publicity.

      This applies a lot or things. The key is to never stop learning, see what other people are doing and adapt it to your own business.

      For example in this case if I was a baker I might create a cake with a QR code. Or someone might sponsor to make the worlds largest QR code made from people.

  • Haha, that's an awesome picture! Thanks for the share!
  • New alien crop circles...
