I mean, that is pretty cool but... It seems kind of obvious that they could have just printed the QR code and taped the paper to the switch instead of using rubber bands to attach a phone to their switch...

having a spare phone is probably more common than a printer these days

Doesn't the phone control the accelerometer data?

Oh, I thought those came from the switch. Then why not do away with the switch though. Ok, probably just very improvised, quick demo indeed.

Who needs an accelerometer when you're just interpreting polygon transform/coordinates in a camera view (the camera that recorded the video)

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, I thought the same. Having worked on plenty of projects that rely on tracking a QR code, you'll get a much more stable experience scanning it on paper than an LCD screen.
