Bobby Alt explains, “I first came across QR technology on a recent trip to Japan and was blown away by the possibilities. I thought the advanced barcoding system would be a great marketing tool for our forthcoming album, and wearing QR-coded shirts on ‘American Idol’ is our first foray of many into this amazing, new technology terrain.”
