QR Codes are a 2D or matrix style barcode that has the ability to store a lot of data.
What do they look like?
You would have noticed them in newspapers, magazines, posters and other places already. They are generally square with combinations of dots within the square.
First used in the automotive industry, they have gained popularity due to the ability for smartphones to scan the code and be taken to a URL, send a text or email, or even save contact details. Not only that, it is possible to create your own.
