How is this system different from regular QR Codes?

The 42Kites platform is so much more than ordinary QR Codes! Take a look at how the three parts of the system can improve your space:

SmartLink Cards

  • There’s a QR Code on the outside but on the inside there is a NFC Chip. Instead of having to scan the QR code (with their phone camera), the NFC chips give people the ability people to simply tap their phone to access the content. A custom overlay can also be placed over the SmartLinks to make them more visually interesting.
  • Unlike typical QR Codes, our SmartLink Cards are reusable. You can remotely change where it links to at anytime (it feels like a magic)! This means you can easily move them from one spot to another. Plus reusable is great for the environment!
  • It’s laminated so it’s weather resistant (yes, you can use it outdoors).
  • It contains a security code so only you can configure it.

Wall-Mounted Holders

  • If you did print your own QR Codes, how would you put them up on the wall? Would people be able to rip them down? Would you be able to tell if someone stuck their own QR Codes over yours?
  • There are two screw holes on the back so you can screw securely into the wall, preventing it from being pulled off.
  • If you don’t think your guests will pull it off the wall, the device also includes adhesive strips so you can stuck it to the wall without any damage.
  • They have a special UV coating to protect them from discoloration caused by sunlight.

Experiences

  • If you did print your own QR Codes, where are they going to link to? 42Kites SmartLink Cards can be linked to any url (a page on your website, your social media accounts, etc..) but most people link them to their 42Kites digital Experience.
  • Who would create the content that the QR code links to? Using the 42Kites interface you can easily do it yourself. Without any design/technical skill you can quickly add text, 3D models, forms, videos, images, buttons and more (there is no limit to the amount of content you can add)
  • You can add/edit the content of your Experiences from any device (without an app)
  • The design of the Experience is simple and calm, perfect for sensory sensitive guests
  • Because accessibility matters, it automatically translates the text of your Experience into more than 100 languages AND it includes accessibility controls (allowing guests to make the text larger or change the color to suit their needs) and text-to-speech (so their device will read it to them).
  • Guests do not need to download an app or register for anything in order to view the content.
