QR Code

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of two-dimensional barcode that stores information in a grid of black and white squares. It can be scanned using smartphones or QR code readers to quickly access various types of data, such as website URLs, text, contact details, payment information, and app download links.

Originally created in 1994 by the Japanese company Denso Wave for tracking automotive parts, QR codes are now commonly used in marketing, retail, logistics, and digital payments. Their popularity stems from their speed, error correction capabilities, and larger data capacity compared to traditional barcodes. QR codes provide a fast and convenient way to connect the physical and digital worlds.
