“Many foods can now be produced using 3D printers,” explains Yamato Miyatake, lead author of the study. “We realized that the insides of edible objects such as cookies could be printed to contain ...

Mundane objects can have metadata embedded into them, or provide markers for augmented reality functionality, like tracking the object in 3D. How are the codes actually embedded?

Researchers have 3D-printed edible QR codes that may help the industry in creating non-toxic tags. Our lives were made considerably simpler by QR codes, which were developed in 1994 by the ...

Would you like a QR code embedded in that cookie? Researchers from Osaka University develop 'interiqr', a novel three-dimensional (3D) printing method of embedding edible QR codes--a type of ...

Barcode stickers may provide valuable information on products, but they're rather unsightly, and they peel off over time. An experimental new alternative, however, is 3D-printed right into the ...

Researchers have developed a way to include an unobtrusive edible tag embedded inside food—in their original experiments, cookies—that can be read without having to first destroy the food or impact ...
