XPAND Code

XPAND Code is a super contactless link tool for smartphones that can be used in conjunction with QR Code.
It compensates for the weaknesses of the QR Code, such as harmony with the landscape and design, and reading the code from long distances.
At a football stadium, we have successfully read the XPAND Code from a distance of 215 meters.
When read from the same distance, XPAND Codes can be installed in less than 20% of the area of a QR Code.
Use the QR Code for short distances and small spaces, and use the XPAND Code for long distances, large spaces, and places where high design quality is required.
This allows you to make the most of limited space and link from any physical object to your smartphone.
Both XPAND Codes and QR Codes can be read by the same apps.
In addition, by the end of the year, we will provide a system to read the codes without installing any apps.
The XPAND Code can be downloaded immediately from a dedicated website.
Moreover, a free plan is also available.
We invite you to try this new experience of connecting things to your smartphone.

Comments to overseas business partners

We believe that the XPAND Code is a general-purpose product and can create new value anywhere in the world, regardless of region.
In 2019-2020, we are touring Europe, China, ASEAN, the Middle East and North America to promote our products at exhibitions and other venues. In addition, all of our exhibitions were selected by the Japanese government and other public organizations through an open call for entries.
We are looking for partners to help us make a strong use case. We are particularly interested in the fields of sports, smart cities, public transport, exhibitions and outdoor advertising. However, we would love to hear from anyone who is interested in our products.

From Mentor

There are many codes in the world and they are monochrome and uniform. They may not match the brand image of your company or service. However, XPAND codes have designability. I hope that the codes, which were just a tool for information transmission will be positioned as a part of the icon of the company or service.
