The origami cranes, that Richard Robbins created by folding QR code-paper, are the collectibles that have been newly introduced to the Nintendo Switch remake of the classic adventure, Another Code: Two Memories. You can find these tiny items in pretty much every room of the Edward Mansion, and you can then scan them with the built-in camera of the DAS device (ZL) to unlock Messages. Floor Cranes

So, where are the DAS Cards this time around? In reality, these cranes replace the original game's collectible, which contained Richard's notes and reports, perhaps to not confuse players with so many cards (as there are key cards too), or to introduce a more current element of everyday life, such as QR codes.
"Sayoko taught me how to make origami cranes a long time ago. Maybe I should make a few and leave them around the mansion, with a wish that the departed may rest in peace".
But what is more interesting about these Messages is that they also add never-before-read script, a series of detailed memories written by Richard, Ashley Mizuki Robbin's dad, introducing a lot more background and lore than the original's brief notes. Besides, their writing is much richer, thus becoming an enjoyable must-read as fan service... And even hiding some new references!
Warning: Remember you won't be able to return to explore the Mansion once you've descended into the lab in Chapter 6, so you better try to search and collect the first 12 cranes in previous chapters. Our advice is that you do so before you go to the basement in Chapter 5, or right after speaking with Jessica at the beginning of that one. If you do it like this, don't forget to scan the 12th crane on your way, right before unlocking the secret hatch.

Ashley has aged wonderfully. Her games, not so much...
Richard Robbins became a fan of David Shields, but what we didn't know was what he actually wrote... until today.
