So in efforts to both save power and also get better range for the QR scanning, I planned to swap and test out lasers as a light source to excite the up conversion pigments in the invisible QR code instructions.  Both IR and UV are very faint in the visible eye , but when they hit a pigments that up shift they release electrons in the visible spectrum, pretty cool right??
