That is nice and delightfully simple.

When I saw the title I thought, that it will transfer a file entirely via continuous QR code scanning. But it would be probably too error prone and too slow, especially without a back channel to signify acks.

Maybe such a thing could work between two phones facing each other screens using front cameras. I wonder how fast could it practically get.

See https://github.com/divan/txqr for this use case. Other probably exist. It can be useful sometimes to not bother with any network at all, e.g. an international museum machine streaming map and documentation for tourists.
