RScanVP Logo

RScanVP [1] is a project I helped build in 6.813 during MIT Junior year. The project aimed to make it easy for poster makers to add QR codes to their event posters which when scanned adds the event to the user's calendar. I got the idea when I stood in the MIT Infinite Corridor copying info from a poster into my calendar. I thought there has to be a better way than retyping all this info!

I'm not completely happy with how the UI for this project turned out, despite this being a UI class. Also it doesn't work on Android (which does not support .ics calendar files, nor on many iOS barcode scanning apps that open results in an in-app web view as opposed to launching Safari.
