I do not believe that this is a viable alternative to QR codes because it most likely needs a database to store each snap tag. A QR code encodes the data into a 2D image. This means that I can scan a QR code without internet access, and without any downloads other than the scanning app. Snap tags most likely need to call home to get the relevant data.
