@omar,
thinking of 'transmission over QR code on your phone screen' as an alternative to both wires and wireless. clearer mental model (of what's connected to what) than wireless + no need for physical wires or plugging into a port on your phone

@omar,
Disney rides do this, where you pull up the code on your phone screen and then put your phone into this Dune mouth thing (which presumably contains a camera pointed down at your phone screen) and swipe your pass into the machine, and it vibrates in a satisfying way as you swipe

@omar I like how it's a transient / one-time operation, vs. "pairing" or something which changes your device and might have surprising effects in the future
