Auction houses can use QR codes to provide detailed information about items up for bid, making the process more transparent and efficient. By scanning QR codes, participants can access the history, provenance, and detailed descriptions of the auction items without needing physical catalogs.
At an art auction, for instance, bidders can scan a QR code next to each piece to instantly view its background, starting bid, and high-resolution images, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
