      That’s so great we can plaster logos in the center of it without any reasonable considerations and it would still work, so that’s now abused by many apps and services. No, they weren’t designed to do that, it’s just a random obstacle, like a dead bug, that doesn’t obscure the reading too much. Trully impressive.

      I don’t think any error correction is done upon this QR code when it is read. Just some camera/image manipulation to figure out the correct way to process it. Error correction is meant for damaged QR codes. I tried looking for an app that shows how much error correction it used to read the QR code, but couldn’t find one.
