• A QR code is a matrix code (or 2 dimensional bard code) created by Japanese corporation Denso Wave in 1994.
• The use of the QR code is free of any licence, clearly defined and published as an ISO standard.
• Back in 2010 QR codes were more common in Japan, and were the most popular type of two dimensional codes. This was largely driven by the fact that most japanses mobile phones can read this code with their mobile phones. Luckily this is now pretty standard with UK smartphones.
• So what can you do with a QR code? Well it's not only restricted to URL's or PURLS.. you can send an email - create a text message or as a contact card.
