QR codes were first introduced in 1994 by a Japanese firm (Denso Wave Inc.) for the sole purpose of tracking vehicle parts. This technology is now used worldwide and is a great way to connect the physical world to the digital one.
QR codes are amazing technology and easy to use. Think of a barcode, only better.
Scanned by any smartphone
To scan a QR Code, you no longer need to download a third-party QR Code scanner. A lot of smartphones these days, such as iPhone and Samsung, come with a built-in QR code scanning feature. The majority of smartphones have this feature connected with the camera, however you may need to enable the QR code function under the camera settings.
