QR codes only work on devices with cameras, ie phones and tablets. I dare say if its an Android tablet, the QR code could be used to open Jmol directly and load the specified molecule into it. Or, using the integrated Jmol/WebMol/Chemdoodle scripts. I am not at all sure how best to implement; I just want a QR code of a molecule to result in the appearance of that molecule on the device; how its done I leave to you guys! I thought that an InChi key would be more software agnostic than coding in a very specific string/script for a very specific combination of software/hardware? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
