That's really clever.

Using the 4 example images at the top, the first (color) and last (B&W) work flawlessly on my iPhone.

But the two animated ones in the middle will work for a second, and then the phone loses it. Animated seems like "too much" for a phone to lock on to -- perhaps just stick to static? That's cool enough.

With my Pixel 2, only the B&W worked with Google Lens.

I couldn't get any of them to work with my Pixel 3, using Google Lens.

Really sorry to hear that. I do not have such a device and without. If I knew which engine was being used I might have a starting point to figure out what might be happening.

edit: I noticed that the QR needs to contain a message or it will not scan.
