Recently I found this: http://2d-code.co.uk/iqr-qr-code/
This is a QRCode but an improved version. I use some QRCode libraries in some projects and it is a great technology but IQR-Code sound very promising. Less the size (sometimes size is a problem) and can contain more characters on a very small footprint.
To get into the new technology, see also this page.
I want to try and play with these new QRCode to find out if it is really useful and suitable to fit into one of my projects but I cannot find any library for it. I want to find a library that can be used in Android, Delphi, PHP, AS3 or/and javascript. Is there a 'hidden' link on the internet that brings me to such library?
The next thing I wonder about is reading speed. For example, the ZBAR and XZing library reads QR-Codes at razor speed. And what about error correction, is it accurate enough? Because it is using a smaller footprint, is it easy to read by a camera? Is it worth it to invest time in this new format?
Does have anyone more information about this or is there a demo project that I can download?
Today I found YAB (Yet Another Barcode), initiated by fraunhofer institute. It is a 3D barcode with colors that can hold more data in a smaller form factor. It is free to use, source code available and deserves more attention, take a look at:
Or use the online demo:

QR Code Alternatives in 2021 These newer technologies include: NFC technology: Near-field communication (NFC) is the technology used in Google Pay and Apple Wallet. NFC tech is built into modern smartphones, and users simply need to tap their phone to the trigger to make a payment.
Although they do sound similar, there are some major differences between Data Matrix Codes and QR Codes. Whereas Data Matrix Codes have a slightly smaller data capacity and are only used for certain types of product inventory, QR Codes have a much wider range of uses and can hold more data.
iQR Code is a matrix-type 2D code allowing easy reading of its position and size. This code allows a wide size range of codes from ones smaller than the traditional QR Code and Micro QR Code to large ones that can store more data than these.
Is there a 'hidden' link on the internet that brings me to such library?
After researching and googling, it seems that, unlike QR codes, the use of iQR codes is not free licensed by Denso Wave, the owner of the patent.
Is it worth it to invest time in this new format?
The format isn't really that new (it's been around since at least 2011) so, in my opinion, the lack of global success and the fact that it isn't freely distributed answers your question.
