LEDs are capable of flashing at a speed of up to four million times per second. This flashing is not perceived by the human eye, but can send a fairly large amounts of information. Compared with the QR-code, new technology offers more advantages. For example, the flashing LEDs are capable of transmitting large amounts of information and easily change it if necessary. Commercial use of this technology will begin in 2013. Source: GSMPress...
