Quick Response codes, better known as “QR codes” or “2d codes,” are going to become increasingly popular as more smartphone users download decoding apps. QR codes are a great way to bridge the gap between the physical and digital information sources and could be appropriate for your next project.
What are QR codes:
A QR code is a matrix barcode that can be read by a smart phone, provided that a QR code reader application is installed. This is how QR codes link a physical object to digital information, a process sometimes referred to as augmented reality. For those unfamiliar with QR codes, a good starting place is this excellent article “How QR Codes Can Grow Your Business” by Jeff Korhan. Korhan does a great job of explaining, how QR codes work without technical jargon.
