What is a QR code?

A QR Code is a two-dimensional barcode, which has encoded in it a URL (web address), text, or other information. It can be read by a QR code scanner, including QR scanner smartphone or smartpad apps.

How can I read a QR code?

If you have a smartphone or smartpad, go to the app store and search for a QR code reader. You will find several free apps. Run the app and then hold your phone/pad camera over a QR code to read it. Most QR codes you come across have a URL encoded, so chances are when you read the QR code it will take you to a web page.

What is the point of QR codes?

QR codes link offline information to online content, effectively providing additional information and even multimedia to an offline experience.
