What is a QR code?
A QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that stores data in a grid of black and white squares. Originally invented in 1994 for the automotive industry, QR codes are now used everywhere — from restaurant menus and business cards to event tickets and payment systems. Any smartphone camera can scan a QR code to instantly open a URL, save a contact, connect to WiFi, or read a message.
