Social media users were treated to a mysterious post this morning. Just before lunchtime, the Prime Minister tweeted out a stylish QR code featuring the number ‘10’ at its centre. The post – captioned ‘Innovation means growth’, along with a phone emoji – was entirely without context.
Keen to figure out what ‘innovation’ and ‘growth’ the PM was referring to, Steerpike thought he’d have a go at cracking this particular code. However, Mr S soon encountered the first stumbling block in Sunak’s bright idea. As many Twitter users were quick to point out, it turns out that to access whatever lies behind the code, you need two devices: one to display the QR code, and another to scan it with. Doh!
Undeterred, Mr S fired up his laptop and scanned the code. A pop up appeared asking to open the mysterious ‘Adobe Aero’ interactive augmented reality app.
