Abstract :
Although superstores can help visually impaired customers with their in-store shopping, they cannot help them identify the products after the customers take them home. We designed a QR-Label and realized an on-demand printing system for superstores. Visually impaired customers can listen to product information at home through their mobile phone by using it to scan the QR-Label placed on each of the purchased packages.
