This is a genius idea .. although I wonder how it competes with OCR against the 7-segment display.

Depends, we managed to OCR all pixels from a standard 128x64pixel OLED. Doing 20 kB/s as a debugging interface was marvelous. Someone smart used the mounting holes on the screen to mount a fixed Finder pattern (the squares in QR Codes), and it was almost fool proof. So Yeah you can easily do seven segment displays now days.

I used Teodora Baluta's Linux Kernel Oops QR code generator as inspiration.

With a QR code you get self describing data streams, ECC, links to manuals.
