Technically speaking, a QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) created by Toyota in 1994 to track vehicles during the manufacturing process.
The QR code has now become mainstream as is being cleverly used to communicate with Smartphone owners, who make up 60% of the mobile phone market place.
QR codes can be inserted on business cards, printed on mugs, placed in newspaper ads, clothing and signage etc.
Getting started…
(1) You’ll need a SmartPhone
(2) Download and install a “QR reader App” from the SmartPhone app store, eg. Redlaser, ShopSavvy (also a barcode reader)
(3) Using the QR App, scan the QR code
(4) You’ll then be prompted to take the next step.
