What Is a QR Code?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores information in a pattern of black and white squares. When scanned with a smartphone camera or QR reader app, the encoded data is instantly decoded — opening a website, connecting to Wi-Fi, sending an email, or displaying text.

QR codes were invented in 1994 by Denso Wave for tracking automotive parts, but today they are used everywhere: restaurant menus, business cards, product packaging, event tickets, and marketing materials.
