Scans of the traditionally smartphone friendly barcodes will allow for token redemption through the camera feature.

The next generation Kinect camera will be able to support the reading of QR codes in order to allow the users of the Xbox One to be able to redeem tokens that would otherwise involve having to enter long, multi digit numbers.

The barcodes replace the entry of the numbers and can also confirm the download of digital games.

This according to an announcement made by Microsoft. According to a spokesperson from the company “As confirmed by Marc Whitten on Twitter, Kinect on Xbox One will allow our customers to redeem QR codes and confirm digital game downloads.” The representative went on to say that “The technological advancements of Kinect for Xbox One allows for a much deeper integration on our platform and we’re excited to share more about new Kinect capabilities in the coming months.”

The announcement of the next generation sensor availability making QR code scans possible was released in a tweet.

Marc Whitten, the Xbox Live corporate vice president, posted a tweet of the confirmation of the new feature of the hardware in a Twitter post when addressing an image that had been previously posted on Reddit. The image had shown the Xbox One Kinect, with the caption “If you’re going to require this thing, then at least give us this option to enter our 15 codes that come with new games.” The QR codes do just that.

Currently, the users of the Microsoft console need to enter a long stream of digits using their system controller, or a supported keyboard or Xbox 360 Chatpad if they wish to redeem a game code or download any number of other types of digital items. The new sensor has 1080p video support, at 30 frames per second, with a field of view that is 60 percent wider and that will function in poorly lit or dark rooms through the use of infrared technology. This will also allow the camera to be able to recognize and read QR codes in order to replace the need to enter the long strings of digits manually with a controller.

The barcode lets shoppers learn more about the local farmers who supply the stores where they shop.

Woolworths has now announced that it is rolling out QR codes, as of the start of this month, that will allow customers to be able to access details regarding the local growers who supply the stores with the fruit and vegetables that they buy.

The program is called Meet the Grower and includes a number of different kinds of media for information.

For instance, when the QR codes are scanned from a product’s package, it reveals the photo of the farmer who grew it, in addition to his or her URL, the length of time that the farmer has been supplying produce to Woolworths, and other information that customers may find useful and interesting.

The first product that will use the QR codes for the Meet the Grower program will be apples.

These apples are from Montague Fresh, a Victorian fruit supplier. The QR codes will eventually expand to include 57 more products over the span of the next couple of months. The company expects that by the end of this year, there will be about 100 products that have barcodes linking to their growers.

The head of produce at Woolworths supermarkets, Paul Harker, explained that QR codes have been applied in this way in order to respond to the interest that the store’s customers have shown in the history of the produce they are buying. Their shoppers have been asking for a way to learn more about where their fresh food comes from, and the store came up with a mobile friendly program using these barcodes in order to offer precisely that information.

Harker went on to explain that about 96 percent of the fresh vegetables and fruits that are sold at the Woolworths chain of grocery stores are grown right there in Australia. The QR codes help consumers to know precisely where in the country the produce was sourced and which farm grew it and provided it to the supermarket. This strategy will help consumers to gain the information that they want and to learn more about the importance of shopping local.
