QR code has been widely used for Augmented Reality games as well as for many commercial applications. However, its usage was limited because it is difficult to enable tangible interactions through which users maychange 3D models or animations. Markers, by blocking designated regions, may be recognized as differentpatterns allowing for tangible user interactions. Unlike markers, it is difficult to alter QR code patterns becauseQR code contains error correction patterns. In most cases, altered patterns cannot be recognized. Our goal was toenable QR code based interactions for Augmented Reality games. By performing research and experiments, wediscovered a mechanism for altering QR code to change the text string that the QR code represents. In this paper,we introduced a QR code alteration prototype that is based on composition of partial QR codes by usingtransparent film overlays. We endowed tangible interaction capability to QR code for Augmented Reality games.

In order to improve the implementation of safety and health education at the site for industrial accident prevention activities, research was conducted to minimize inconvenience and increase utilization by redesigning and developing existing education methods. To date, occupational safety and health education has been conducted without considering the general work characteristics and functional facilities (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, chemical) of workers (mechanical: turbine, valve, pump, hydraulic system, electrical: generator, breaker, motor, etc.). In particular, plant facilities were classified as mechanical and electrical facilities to improve the methodology for industrial safety and health education for plant maintenance workers. In addition, the “One Page Education Plan” was announced as a learning case because the spread of COVID-19 infectious diseases made it impossible to reduce or control the number of people in all groups and groups. The improvement of this training method will play a major role in improving the effectiveness of safety education in power plant workplaces.

The rapid advancement of financial technology (FinTech) has significantly transformed payment systems worldwide, accelerating the transition from cash-based transactions to digital payment methods. In Cambodia, the introduction of mobile QR code payment systems, particularly through KHQR and Bakong platforms, has promoted widespread adoption of cashless payments. However, while existing studies have primarily focused on initial adoption, limited research has examined the factors influencing users’ continuance intention to use mobile QR code payment systems. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the key determinants of continuance intention in the Cambodian context. This study is primarily based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions are examined as key factors influencing user satisfaction, which subsequently affects continuance intention. In addition, perceived security is incorporated as a moderating variable to examine its role in strengthening the relationship between these factors and user satisfaction. Data were collected from 230 users of mobile QR code payment services in Cambodia through a structured survey questionnaire. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques, including reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results reveal that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions have significant positive effects on user satisfaction. Furthermore, user satisfaction has a strong positive influence on continuance intention. The findings also highlight the important role of perceived security in enhancing users’ confidence and supporting continued usage behavior.

The role of QR Code robots in smart logistics is great. Cognitive robots, such as logistics robots, were mostly used to adjust routes and search for peripheral sensors, cameras, and recognition signs attached to walls. However, recently, the ease of making QR Codes and the convenience of producing and attaching a lot of information within QR Codes have been raised, and many of these reasons have made QR Codes recognizable as visions and others. In addition, there have been cases in developed countries and Korea that control several of these robots at the same time and operate logistics factories smartly. This representative case is the KIVA robot in Amazon. KIVA robots are only operated inside Amazon, but information about them is not exposed to the outside world, so a variety of similar robots are developed and operated in several places around the world. They are applied in various fields such as education, medical, silver, military, parking, construction, marine, and agriculture, creating a variety of application robots. In this work, we are developing a robot that can recognize its current position, move and control in the directed direction through two-dimensional QR Codes with the same horizontal and vertical sides, and the error is to create a QR Code robot with accuracy to reach within 3mm. This paper focuses on indoor mobile robot position recognition and driving experiment using QR Code during the development of QR Code-aware indoor mobility robots.
