What is Bokode?
Bokode was developed in 2009 at the MIT Media Lab. It is an LED-based miniature barcode of only 3mm diameter that can be read from several meters away. It remained a research prototype and was never commercialized.
Why not available?
Bokode is an experimental prototype without standardized reader infrastructure. No commercial scanners or software libraries exist.

FAQ
Can I create a Bokode?
No, Bokode is Experimental and cannot be created with freely available software. Use one of the recommended alternative codes instead.
What makes Bokode different from a normal QR code or barcode?
Bokode uses an LED light source instead of printed patterns – a fundamentally different approach.
