# QR Code Backpacks This Backpack from JanSport Helps Students Easily Share Content By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-06-21 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backpack-from-jansport References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/wearables/jansport-qr-code-bag/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [jansport](http://www.jansport.com/) There's a new backpack from [JanSport](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venture-pack-system) that's been developed that boasts more than just an interesting black and white pattern. Although the colors and patterns integrated into most backpacks are purely for aesthetic purposes, this backpack's design is integral to another important function. The backpack design has the potential to be used like a giant QR code, making it possible for kids to easily share everything from music videos to social media profiles with others. As such, there have been 300 completely unique bags designed, each of which has its own distinctive patterning. To see the content being shared by a person with this innovative backpack from JanSport, a special mobile app is needed to read the codes and reveal the online source links. As it stands, the bags are still prototypes that may or may not be introduced to the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **QR Code Fashion:** The integration of QR codes into fashion accessories like backpacks enables easy sharing of content and links. - **Personalized Design:** Unique patterns and designs on backpacks create a sense of individuality and personal expression. - **Augmented Reality Apps:** The need for special mobile apps to read the QR codes opens up opportunities for the development of augmented reality applications. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion industry can explore the integration of QR codes in various accessories to enhance user experience. - **Personalized Products:** Companies specializing in customized products can leverage the trend of personalized backpack designs. - **Mobile App Development:** The growing demand for apps to read QR codes presents an opportunity for developers to create innovative augmented reality applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Ready Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venture-pack-system.md) - [Nostalgic Sci-Fi Backpack Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-backpack-collection.md) - [Artistically Adorned Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artlifting.md) - [Earbud-Inspired Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack-backpack.md) - [Functional Vintage-Inspired Bag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-series.md) - [Oversized Earbud Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack.md) - [Trackable Travel Tech Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scapade-airpack-backpack.md) - [Organization-Forward Backpack Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-backpack.md) - [Interactive Juice Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-back-to-school.md)
