More About QR Codes
QR (Quick Response) codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can store a variety of information and are rapidly scannable by smartphones or dedicated QR readers. They were invented in 1994 by Masahiro Hara for Denso Wave, a Japanese automotive company, to track vehicles during manufacturing.
Today, QR codes are ubiquitous and serve many purposes, including:
- Marketing and Advertising: Linking to websites, product information, or promotional offers.
- Payments: Facilitating secure and fast mobile payments.
- Information Sharing: Providing contact details (vCards), Wi-Fi access, or event schedules.
- Ticketing and Boarding Passes: Used for seamless entry into events or transportation.
- Inventory Management: Streamlining tracking and logistics in various industries.
Unlike traditional barcodes, QR codes can hold significantly more data, can be read from any direction, and offer robust error correction, meaning they can still be scanned even if partially damaged. Their versatility and ease of use make them an indispensable tool in the digital age.
