QRcodes

QRCode is a type of two-dimensional barcode created in 1994 by Denso-Wave, a division of Denso Corporation.

QRCodes can be read by mobilephones with QRCode Readers and are being used in a variety of ways around the world to deliver mobile content and hyperlink physical spaces.

In New York City, they are being used to record and share street histories...allowing people, anybody, to access location-specific historical content and contribute to it. They cover Japan, where they are found on everything from business cards and transit stops, to fresh food and billboards. They make it easy to send mobile thank you notes when incorporated into a box of sweets as a service...

QrCodes are a component of distributed interactive storytelling, or subversive mobile storytelling, depending on your perspective...as well as a component of engaging knowledge experiences within cultural institutions, or unbounded physical locations anywhere out in the world...

They have been used to create an interactive street art platform in Western Europe...they have been used to distribute serialized novels..and they add a great and fun element to games played around the world...and so much more.

QRCodes can contain a larger amount of information, stored in both vertical and horizontal directions, than can be contained in a traditional barcode and they are readable from any direction.

If your phone does not have a pre-installed QRCode Reader, it is possible to download one for it, or it is possible to upload QRCode images you have captured with your camera into an online QRCode Decoder to receive and access the content contained within them.

QRCode is capable of handling all types of data, such as numeric and alphabetic characters, Kanji, symbols, binary, and control codes. Up to 7,089 characters can be encoded in one symbol. QRCode can be divided into multiple data areas. Conversely, information stored in multiple QRCode symbols can be reconstructed as single data symbols.
