I'm not disputing that it may be difficult. I was just pointing out that the original poster seemed to be using a particularly bad QR code recognition application. A good application like the one we have been testing, can be very tolerant of position and angles. We just need to wave the phone in the general direction of a QR code and it gets read accurately.

The only problem we have is if there are two QR codes close to each other. That can plausibly happen with our system, which uses both printed and on-screen QR codes, but there will be plenty of cases when it is unlikely.
