Why Offline?

QR codes present a unique opportunity to transfer data through a visual medium, although most QR codes encountered in everyday life are typically URLs directing users to online resources. With VIRcode, we have harnessed the power of QR codes to facilitate direct data transfer to the scanning device, completely bypassing the internet. This approach eliminates issues related to cellular signal or WiFi connectivity.

For many individuals, connecting to the internet involves multiple steps (when using WiFi) or incurs significant costs (with usage-based cellular data plans). VIRcode simplifies this process by allowing data to be transferred offline, making it more accessible and cost-effective.

For the sender, this method eliminates the challenges and expenses associated with hosting data online. There is no need for servers to operate, secure, and maintain on the internet. The sender only needs to generate the QR code directly from the system containing the data and display it to the scanning device.

Security is inherently enhanced as the sender can control who views the QR code. By displaying the code in a controlled environment, the sender ensures that only the intended recipients in the room can access the data, providing a secure and straightforward data transfer solution.
