What's a QRCode?
Filed in archive General Cool Stuff by Dameon Welch-Abemathy on September 4, 2007

QR codes have been used in manufacturing for the past couple of years. They are insanely popular in Japan where just about every phone sold has as a camera and the ability to read QR Codes. Higher-end Nokia devices have been shipping with a built-in barcode reader
application, which will read these QR codes.Denso Wave Incorporated, the creators of QR Codes, state that you can encode 4,296 of text into a QR code, or 1,817 Kanji/Kana characters. That's quite a bit of data. Other features, including built-in error correction, make this a great way to encode data in a machine-readable format that can easily be read later.
If you look at the QuickMark website, you can easily generate QR codes for a number of different types of data! QuickMark also provides software downloads for a number of mobile handsets which will turn your camera phone into a QR code reader!
If QRcodes were everywhere, would you use them? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
