As part of a group (visually impaired people) that faces barriers to information access, I'm often met with sighted professionals who never thought about this before and ask "what if we use a QR code?"
Have you ever tried to scan a QR code you couldn't see? It's hard enough when you can!
Visually impaired people are also a group disproportionately likely to not have smartphones or to not get them out of our bag/pocket in public.
But also: this one used to work for me; now it's too degraded.
